1."at"(d)
The fixed combination is 'good at' + subject/activity. 'Good in' is not standard British English for this meaning.
2."of"(b)
The fixed combination is 'afraid of' + something. We do not say 'afraid from' or 'afraid about'.
3."from"(c)
The standard combination is 'different from'. We do not say 'different with' or 'different of'.
4."in"(d)
The fixed combination is 'interested in' + noun/gerund. No other preposition works here.
5."of"(a)
The fixed combination is 'proud of' + person/thing. 'Proud for' and 'proud about' are not correct.
