Correct Answer: within


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation:
The reason for choosing "within" as the most appropriate option is based on precision and clarity. "Within" is commonly used to denote a specific period of time before an event occurs. In the context of the sentence, the speaker is expressing that they will be at the specified location in a period not exceeding half an hour.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I will be there within half an hour.
