Correct Answer: for the


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

The original sentence is grammatically incorrect. The preposition "at" is not suitable in this context. "At"  is often used to denote a specific point in time or a location, while "for" is used to indicate a duration, purpose, or frequency. In the context of the given sentence, "for" is more appropriate because it conveys the idea of winning the championship on two occasions (frequency).

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The football team has won the championship for the second time.
