[Answer]
母の病気が心配（3 で）、このごろよく寝られません。
I’m worried about my mother’s illness, so I can’t sleep well these days.
The key grammar here is:
Te-form for Reasons
The Te-form is often used to show a reason or cause.
It means “Because of ~, …”
Te-form of na-adjective is [na-adj] + で
In this sentence:
心配 (na-adjective)
→ 心配 + で
= 心配で
So, で is the best choice.
✖ Other Choices:
1 から
→「から」also shows reason.
→ But you need「心配だから」, not「心配から」.
2 し
→「し」also shows reason (especially for listing multiple reasons).
→ But you need「心配だし」, not「心配し」.
4 ばかり
→「心配ばかりしている」
= “I only keep worrying”
→ But here, the sentence doesn’t connect properly.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
