Correct Answer: on


Solution : The correct answer is option 1.

Explanation:

To indicate direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object, a preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase.
Examples include "in," "at," "on," "of," "to," etc.

When an object is physically in contact with and supported by a surface, the preposition "on" is used to indicate this.

Example: The book is on the bed.

- In the preceding sentence, the student's shoulders physically touch and supports the bags.

Therefore, to fill in the blank, we will use "on."
