Solution

The correct option is C to
The given sentence conveys the subject's direction towards the station. Therefore 'to' is the suitable answer, since 'to' generally indicates something's direction. Thus option C is correct. On the other hand 'in' is used to denote a location or position within or inside something. Hence option A is incorrect. The preposition 'into' is used to depict a position inside something, while 'at' indicates a specific time or place. Since the sentence speaks about a direction, 'into' and 'at' are unsuitable in the given context .Thus option B and D are incorrect.
The completed sentence thus becomes: Shall we take a taxi to the station or shall we walk?
