A predicative adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb (is) and modifies the subject (She) of that linking verb.
Option B: The preposition 'of' is often used when the head of the phrase "is very fond ____ modern art" is a predicative adjective "fond".
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'In' means 'surrounded by all sides', or 'enclosed within something'. The meaning does not apply here. Hence option A is incorrect.
Option C: 'With' means 'accompanied by'. This word too does not agree with the sentence.
Option D: 'At' refers to a place or a time. For example, 'at a time', at the gate', etc. This word isn't relevant here, hence D is incorrect.
