Grammatical mistakes are not problem when we will attend the interview but we have to speak fluently so please try to improve English speaking skills. Write or wrong that is not the problem they will observe only our fluent and soft skills this is my suggestion only. Thank you.

I think its not much easy to judge english through comments, but can get an idea. Better by consulting top english professors.

I could not put up in a hotel because the boarding and lodging charges were exorbitant. In the whole sentence part "B" and "C" is correct but part "A" have some grammatical mistake. Part "A" will be "I could not put up at a hotel".

Yamini, you said that 'in' is used for enclosed surface and I guess hotel is an enclosed surface. So by your concept "in a hotel" is a correct sentence? Can you please clear my doubt over this?

In is used for big places (like cities, states... ) and at for the small places (like particular place related to the city). For example: I am staying at Ameerpet located in Hyderabad. Here ameerpet is one of the area in the hyderabad.
