Solution : The correct answer is option 1.

Explanation:

- Let's consider the possibilities:
- The preposition "by" denotes something or someone "as a means of." It indicates an agent.
- When referring to a position inside of another object, the preposition "in" is used.
- When referring to positions or locations, the preposition "at" is used.
- The preposition "into" is used to denote a possible path that someone or something could take to get to a specific location.
- As a result, option 1 is the right response.
