该选择哪一个呢,为什么,
最好有例句.

答案为 B
他们都有“由于”的意思,使用时注意区分
1.because of意为"由于,因为",强调因果关系,在句中仅作状语,修饰句中的一部分,与其他成分不用逗号隔开.如:We must not get discouraged because of such a minor setback.
我们决不可因为这样一个小小的挫折而灰心丧气.
2.owing to与because of一样,也强调因果关系,除作状语外,也可作表语.作状语时修饰整个句子,可在句首或句末,用逗号隔开.如:
They decided to cancel the flight,owing to the storm.
由于这场暴风雨,他们决定取消这个航班.
His death was owing to an accident.他死于一场事故.
3.due to引出造成后果的原因,在句中作表语、状语和定语.作表语和状语时与owing to同义,作状语时,一般不与其他成分隔开.如:
This accident was due to(owing to)his careless driving.
这次车祸是由于他开车疏忽大意造成的.
He arrived late due to(owing to)the storm.由于暴风雨他来晚了.
Mistakes due to carelessness may have serious consequences.
由于疏忽大意造成的错误可能带来严重的后果.
4.thanks to表示"幸亏,多亏"多用于表达正面意思,相当于感谢,在句中作状语和表语.如:
Thanks to your advice,much trouble was saved.
多亏你的建议,减少了许多麻烦.
