Complete answer
Let’s discuss the given options and find the correct answer.
>Across: “Across” is a type of preposition which indicates to, toward or from the far side of (something that lies between two points of interest). For example , we rowed across the river. It also means something on the opposite side of something. For example, the store is across the street.
