Answer 1

The correct answer is 'at'.

Key Points

The preposition "at" is used to indicate the target or direction of an action, such as yelling or shouting.
In this context, "yelled at him" correctly conveys that the action is directed towards the person.
Options 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect because they do not convey the correct prepositional usage for this sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Complete Sentence: "She yelled at him and he hastily retreated."

Additional Information

Option 1: "towards" is incorrect because it does not fit the context of the sentence.
Option 3: "to" is incorrect because it does not convey the intended meaning of directing the yelling action at the person.
Option 4: "on" is incorrect because it does not logically fit with the verb "yelled."
