Correct Answer: at chess
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
- In the given sentence, the use of the preposition "by" is incorrect.
- The preposition "by" is used to indicate the means of achieving something.
- To beat somebody at something means to defeat someone in a game or competition.
- So "by" should be replaced by "at".
Hence, the correct sentence is: "I bet you can’t beat me at chess ."
