Explanation
Aircraft pass above houses, so 'over our house' is the correct preposition — it also captures the noise nuisance of living near a busy airport. 'Near' is vague, 'by' suggests passing beside, and 'around' suggests circling; none fits planes on a flight path as well as 'over'. Thus the correct choice is (C) "over our house".
