Hint: Prepositions are the words that show the relationship of a noun or pronoun with another word in a sentence are called prepositions. Prepositions are usually followed by the noun or pronoun. For example: in, over, under, below, beside, through and etc.

Complete answer:
In the following question, we have to complete the sentence with the most fitted preposition the blank. And to get a meaningful sentence it is very important to know the meaning of the options given in the question.
Option A) At – is the correct answer because ‘at’ is used to show the specific location or place. Hence, the given sentence speaks about a specific location or place. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option B) Upon – is an incorrect answer because ‘upon’ is much more formal than on. Upon can be used with the same meanings as the preposition on is used. So, upon is used to indicate that someone or something is very close and it is used to emphasize something that is repeated many times. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) On – is an incorrect answer because ‘on’ implies touching or forming part of a surface. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) With – is an incorrect answer because we use ‘with’ when we are using something, it also refers to reactions and feelings. Thus, this is not an incorrect answer.
Option E) In – is an incorrect answer because the use of ‘in’ in a sentence indicates a location. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence option ‘A’ is the correct answer.

Note: In such questions it is very important to understand how prepositions are used and what the importance of propositions is. As prepositions hold a very important position as part of speech or they act as a vital marker in framing sentences. Prepositions can be used to describe a location, time and place. For example: He sat on the table and there was some milk in the can. And there are certain rules in preposition that has to be keep in mind and they are:
Rule1: A preposition must have an object. For example: They are in the kitchen (in is the preposition and the object is kitchen)
Rule 2: Pre-preposition means place before. This means that preposition usually comes before something. For example: I put it in the box.
Rule 3: A pronoun following a preposition should be in object form. For example: This gift is from my wife and me (objective form is me, her, and them).
Rule 4: To preposition and to infinitive are not the same. For example: I look forward to lunch.
Rule 5: Preposition forms – There are two types of forms. One word preposition (before, into, on) and complex preposition (according to, but for, in spite of, on account of).
Rule 6: The golden preposition rule. It is always followed by a noun. It is never followed by a verb.
