Selitys
The sentence should read: "The Bank Manager assured us that there was nothing to worry about with regard to the loan." This choice uses the correct prepositional phrase "with regard to" to indicate the specific aspect ("the loan") that there is nothing to worry about. Options A, C, and D are not grammatically correct or commonly used in standard English.
