Answer 1

Answer: (A)

in

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.

The correct answer is A)in as it indicates an impact of something.

'From' ,'to' and 'for' cannot be used here as they indicate a source, a direction and a purpose respectively.
