I think all of you does not know english rule, option c is incorrect because boardin and lodging are singular noun hence we use 'was ' there.

"could not put up in a hotel" Now no one stays in full hotel one stays in single room so
"I could not put up in a room" is correct however "could not put up at hotel" specifying a perticular hotel which is having high boarding and lodging rate.

I could not put up in a hotel is correct, but in this sentence look like that already knows of hotel and boarding charges so "I could not put up at a hotel" for exact.

"I could not put up at a hotel because the boarding and lodging charges were exorbitant" means "I could not stay at hotel as the charges are so high".

We can use board also as per UK format. But as per Asians knowledge, we generally use boarding and lodging only.
