Smile is always followed by on and laugh is followed by over.

Smile is followed by "on" "at" and "upon" so "on" might be the write answer.

Smile is a verb(a word defining an action). Actions can take all of the given choices (prepositions).
But here the context is such that, the subject is Fate (a bigger entity as we see it). Therefore, fate can only smile 'at' us or smile 'on' or 'upon' us (all positive sentences).
It won't smile with us (as it's bigger than us) and never smile over us (as this makes the sentence negative ).
