Correct Answer: for
Solution : The correct choice to fill in the blank is the first option.
"But for" is a set phrase that means "if it were not for" and is used when we want to talk about a condition that has a significant impact on the result. In this sentence, it means that, if the speaker had not helped him, the person would not have been successful.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: He would not have been successful in the project but for my help.
