Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: of — Incorrect. "Of" shows belonging or content (a land of rivers), but "blessed" does not take "of".
Example: Kerala is a land of rivers and backwaters.
Option 3: for — Incorrect. "Blessed for" would mean blessed because of something, not having something.
Example: The village is famous for its handicrafts.
Option 4: to — Incorrect. "To" shows direction or the receiver of something; it does not follow "blessed".
Example: The award was given to the best student.
