B- the preposition at is incorrect. It should be in. C- since we are talking about reports, are should be the verb instead of is. D- the preposition from is contextually incorrect. We should mention that the cat was spotted. So, the preposition of should be used here. It is recorded that the last cheetahs were shot in India in 1947, but there are credible reports of sightings of the cat till about 1967.
