In hotel is wrong because he is staying at some place in hotel. Not occupying all the hotel. So it is at hotel.

Where do you stay? At home or in home? So the answer is at hotel (option A is wrong).

But also we say, I live in an apartment and that is correct.
In my opinion B should be wrong because "the boarding and lodging" is singular and should be followed by charge was very high.
Since there cannot be error in two sentences. Therefore it should be "The boarding and The lodging charges".

Letter B has no error since the two words are parallel to each other. Since the first word is a gerund then the second word must also be a gerund.
A is the correct answer since a hotel is considered a place. And the linking verb "at" just suits the noun itself.
