Correct Answer: to the best


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

To the best means to the greatest degree and fits contextually in the sentence. It conveys the meaning that he worked with the highest quality of his ability.

Other options don't fit contextually because different prepositions used in the options make the options incorrect.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He worked to the best of his ability.
