Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 (for, from) -> "Aware for" and "satisfied from" are incorrect collocations that don't follow standard English usage.

Option 2 (of, with) -> "Aware of" correctly indicates knowledge/consciousness of something, and "satisfied with" properly expresses contentment about something.

Option 3 (from, by) -> "Aware from" and "satisfied by" are grammatically incorrect preposition pairings for these contexts.

Option 4 (with, for) -> "Aware with" and "satisfied for" don't form proper collocations in English.


Hence, Option 2 (of, with) -> The fixed expressions "aware of" and "satisfied with" are standard collocations in English, where "aware of" indicates consciousness or knowledge of something, and "satisfied with" expresses contentment about something -> correct
