EnglishPrepositions and Determiners
- Afor
- Bto
- Cby
- Dwith
Explanation
The fixed collocation is 'held responsible for' + the thing one answers for — here, 'my spouse's debts'. 'Responsible to' takes a person or authority to whom one is accountable ('responsible to the manager'), not a thing like debts. 'By' and 'with' are unidiomatic. Hence (A).
