Solution
The correct option is DWith The student was punished using a stick. The correct preposition that is used to indicate the same is option D) With.
'Within' indicates something inside. 'Alongwith' is grammatically incorrect in the sentence. 'By' implies the thing/person carrying out the action, not the object used to carry out the action. Hence, options A, B and C are not the right options.
