Fill in the blank with the correct preposition from the options given below:

Solution
Option 4: during -> "During" is the correct preposition to use when referring to something that happens within a specific time period. The phrase "during the second quarter of 2024" correctly indicates that the increase in cyberattacks occurred within that three-month period. The other prepositions don't work with time periods in this context: "among" is for groups, "on" is for specific dates, and "above" indicates spatial position. -> correct
