Correct Answer: warned against


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

When warning someone, it is typical to use the preposition against to indicate what action or behaviour should be avoided. Warned against is an idiomatic expression commonly used to convey caution or advice against a particular action.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The students were warned against coming late to school.
