Explanation
The underlined word is 'over'. In 'presiding over the meeting', 'over' shows the relationship between presiding and the meeting, indicating authority/control. It functions as a preposition. Option (d) 'Preposition' is correct. It is not a verb, noun, or adjective. The phrase 'preside over' uses 'over' prepositionally. Hence option D is correct.
