Sentence structure with a preposition
When 'Angebot' (range / selection) describes the entire selection, it is often followed by the preposition 'an' with the dative. This structure describes what the selection consists of.

Compare with
Angebot vs Wahl
choice / election
'die Wahl' and 'das Angebot' can both describe that several things are available. 'das Angebot' more often means the full range of things or possibilities that exist, for example in a store or course program. 'die Wahl' more often means that someone can choose something from that range. Learners may confuse the words because both occur in selection situations. Remember: 'das Angebot' is what is available; 'die Wahl' is choosing from it.
Angebot
Beim Einkaufen ist das Angebot an frischem Obst heute besonders groß.
When shopping, the selection of fresh fruit is especially large today.
Wahl
Am Wochenende hatte der Fahrer die Wahl zwischen zwei Routen.
At the weekend, the driver had the choice between two routes.
