Irfan Habib, a noted historian, is great authority _____ Indian history.  

Options:
A)

of

B)

in

C)

on

D)

over

Solution:

Ans: (c) ‘On’ is the correct answer.

Generally, when someone is ‘an authority’, the meaning is that they are expert, and the preposition ‘on’ is best. The abstract noun ‘authority’, as a thing that you can have, uses the preposition ‘over’.
