The correct answer is D. preposition: along; object of the preposition: border.
In A, are is a verb. In B, is is a verb. In C, the is a determiner. This is why these cannot be correct answers. The only preposition in the sentence is along. 

Answer:

D. preposition: along; object of the preposition: border.

Explanation:

The object of a preposition is the noun or pronoun governed by a preposition. The object of a preposition is usually (but not always) the noun or pronoun to the right of the preposition.
