Explanation
The phrase is 'broad aims ____ social transformation'. The blank requires a preposition showing purpose. Among the options, 'for' (A) is correct, giving 'aims for social transformation', meaning objectives directed toward transformation. The other options do not form idiomatic collocations with 'aims' in this context. Hence option A is correct. Cross-checked with Oswaal CDS Yearwise Solved Papers.
