C) at/from
To the surprise of the archeologists, the structure turns out to be the remains of two domed tombs, each over a thousand years old.
to/of A. the preposition 'to' is used in this context to show the surprise of a specific person, in this case, the archaeologists. The preposition 'to' is also used with other words that describe feelings, for example: 'to someone's relief.' B. The preposition 'of' shows the relation between the ruins and the tombs. The ruins are what remained after the tombs have been damaged or destroyed.
The correct answer is a) to/of ; *(to) the surprise indicates the reason for the surprise. *and the word (of) is used to show association.
