Attempted by 91 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer:
in
Why this is correct:
"In" is used to indicate the manner or method of doing something. The natural phrase here is "in the most efficient way" or "in the most efficient ways possible."
Why the other choices are incorrect:
"on" — not used to express manner here; "on the most efficient ways" is ungrammatical in this context.
"over" — typically indicates movement, position, or comparison, not the manner of solving problems.
"with" — can appear in constructions like "with the most efficient approach," but here "in" is the more natural preposition to describe how something is done.
Corrected sentence examples:
He loves to solve programming problems in the most efficient way.
He loves to solve programming problems in the most efficient ways possible.
