Correct Answer: There are three cupholders placed on the cupboards of the secretariat table.
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
As we know, a preposition like "on" is used when something is placed on the surface of a cupboard, and "in" is used when something is placed inside it.
Here, cupholders would be placed inside the cupboards. So, "in the cupboards" is the appropriate choice.
Hence, the corrected sentence would be : "There are three cupholders placed in the cupboards of the secretariat table."
