One can be charged OF an offence, not charge WITH an offence. So obviously C is the accurate answer.
The phrase "charged with" is correct because "charge" in a legal sense is typically followed by "with" when specifying the crime or offense.
Explanation:
1. "Charge with" + Crime/Offense
When someone is formally accused of a crime, we use "charged with" followed by the specific crime.
Example: He was charged with theft.
2. "Charge of" is used differently
"Charge of" is used when referring to the accusation itself, not the action of accusing someone.
Example: He faced a charge of theft. (Here, "charge" is a noun, not a verb.)
So, in the sentence, "charged with" is correct because it describes what he was accused of doing.
Option C is the correct answer. Just like when you say 'he was charged of murder'
