Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation: The preposition "to" in this case is used to denote the direction or result of the emotional response. When we say someone is "moved to tears", the preposition "to" establishes a connection between the emotional state (tears) and the stimulus (his sad story).
So, the correct sentence would be: "Everyone was moved to tears at his sad story."
