(E) None of the above

The word “at” is not even in your sentence.

Contrast is not in a prep. phrase.

The prepositional phrase is–in contrat to last weeks sales.

The word “in” is a preposition and it is the first word in that phrase.A phrase is a part of a sentence,a piece of it.

It is C,but you need to add “in” at the beginning of the phrase.

It’s (b) because ‘at’ is a preposition. Your sentence said ‘of’ but that’s a preposition too so it doesn’t change the answer. None of the other options begin with a preposition.
