The correct answers are to, of, in, and to.
Impervious to is a prepositional adjective meaning unable to be affected by something.
Devoid of means entirely lacking or free from something.
Culminate in is a prepositional verb meaning to reach a climax or point of highest development. (Note: "culminate with" is sometimes used in informal speech, but "culminate in" is the standard C1 level form).
Resigned to means accepting that something undesirable cannot be avoided.
