🧠 Explanation:
- Correct preposition with "ill" in context of disease is: "with".
- We commonly say: "He is ill with fever" — this is standard English usage.
- Other options like "of" or "by" are incorrect in this sentence structure.
- Examples: "She is ill with the flu" / "He was ill with malaria".
