"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". This is the right answer.

In - where there are numerous specific locations is possible for example : I'm in New York and I'm in us.
At- specific location (or) I'm at my hotel, I'm at home.

'in' is used where we refer to some particular place. 'at' is used where we refer to something big. Like for eg. He lives "in Gomti Nagar" "at Lucknow".

When we talk about the place for staying and short stay we use 'at' preposition. But when use a fix location big city or anything else use 'in.

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.

I think there should be 'at the hotel'. Becouse, here we talk about a particular hotel. The charges cannot be exorbitant for all hotels.

Why it can't be "put up at the hotel" because the hotel is known. So instead of at a, it should be at the hotel.
