Which is the appropriate preposition of the word "Alternative "?

1Alternative is both an adjective or noun - presumably you only mean the latter. There's no specific preposition that goes with the noun: use the preposition that suits the context, e.g. of, to, for, from, etc. Have you looked up a dictionary? What do you think? Note that the system has flagged your question for deletion as "low-quality". See How to Ask for further guidance and take the Tour.– Chappo Hasn't ForgottenCommented Dec 12, 2018 at 7:59

'To' is the correct preposition to introduce the thing that is being foregone. Of course, 'from' and 'for' could be used in the same sentence, but not with the same meaning, e.g. "an alternative TO bread FOR coeliacs FROM the supermarket."
