AT - exact time (my office opens at 9 am), speed (she drives her at 120 km) , building& events.
Ex: I'm at home, I'm at a hotel, I'm at a party, etc.
IN - we should use it when the noun is indicating the place or area.
Ex: I'm in Chennai, she is in this room, my dad is in the USA.
I was born in Chennai at KMC hospital. But also use IN - (month, year, seasons, long periods)
ON - day, date, electronic device.
Ex: He is on the phone, on a laptop, I'm on the train.
Ex: I'm at home, I'm at a hotel, I'm at a party, etc.

At shows stationary position or existing states while In shows movement. At is used for small places, town etc while In shows big places, towns, city, country etc. At is used for point of time while In is used for a period of time.
Examples:
1) She is at home. (Here at is used with home because home is stationary means it is not moving).
2) The train is in motion. (Here in is showing the moving state of train).
3) HPCA (Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association) stadium is at Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh. (Here at is used with Dharamsala because it is a small city while in is used with Himachal Pradesh because it is a big place).
4) The train will arrive at six in the morning ( Six: point of time, morning: period of time).
Other uses of At/In:
-> At is used for a precise time.
-> In is used for Months, Years, Centuries, Long Periods.
-> At is used for a point.
-> In is used for an enclosed space.

On is used here. You can relate it as if you are above then your earth reference suppose you are on the bus, you are on the train.

In is also used to indicate location or place. So option D is correct.

Actually, A is the answar.
In & at are use in the sentence are mainly depend upon the type of sentence.
i.e - in a system a place in between another place. Then we first place use IN and another place use AT.
eg -in a room at a hotel.
