Correct Answer: at


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The preposition at is the correct choice according to the context, as it correctly helps in referring to the fierce dog at which the stone should be thrown. It is more appropriate than "on" because "on" is used to refer to surfaces, which makes "at" the appropriate choice for this sentence.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: Throw a stone at the fierce dog.
