In
0%
Late
0%
For
0%
None of these
Explanation
The preposition 'in' is used to refer to an unspecific or a broad period of time during a day, month, season or a year. Since the sentence has only mentioned that the thunderstorm happened at some point in the night, the correct preposition to be used is Option A, in.
Option B is incorrect as 'late' by itself does not qualify for a preposition rather it is an adverb and hence would be grammatically incorrect if used in the sentence.
The preposition 'for' is used to indicate duration, the use of something or to mean 'because of.' Since none of these usages of 'for' would provide the sentence any logical meaning, option C is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect as option A as the correct answer.
