(a) in hearing: This choice doesn't fit well with the structure of the sentence. The more appropriate preposition to convey the sense of receiving information is "to."
(b) to hear regarding: This option is grammatically incorrect. The correct preposition to use with "hear" in this context is "of" rather than "regarding."
(c) hearing regarding: Similar to option (b), this choice is grammatically incorrect. The correct preposition after "hear" in this context is "of."
(d) to hear of: This is the correct choice. The phrase "to hear of" is idiomatic and commonly used to express learning about someone or something. In this context, it properly conveys the sentiment of feeling grief upon learning about the friend's serious illness.
Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence is: "It grieved me to hear of my friend’s serious illness."
