Answer: (B)

At

Answer : B

Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence. Prepositions of place are used to refer to a place, usually to denote the location of something or someone.

Let's look at the usage of various alternatives in the option as preposition of place:

• at : to refer to an exact place where something is situated / event
• of : not used as a preposition of place
• in : means "inside"
• over : to refer to across specific sides; or something place one above / higher than the other; or to mean "more than"

In the sentence, as a reference to a specific location / part of the suit , i.e. the Arms. Therefore, the suitable preposition here is "at".

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

My suit is a little too long AT the arms.
