Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

stayed ... home
घर पर होने के अर्थ में fixed phrase (पदबंध) at home आता है।

We stayed at home all day and watched movies.
Inside के साथ किसी article या possessive की आवश्यकता होती है, जैसे inside the house।

stayed ... home
The fixed phrase is at home.
✓
We stayed at home all day and watched movies.
Inside needs an article or a possessive, like inside the house.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'inside' उचित लगा। परंतु इसके साथ article या possessive आता है; यहाँ 'at home' निश्चित phrase है।'inside' looked right because staying in a house means being inside. But 'inside' needs an article or possessive, as in 'inside the house'; the phrase here is 'at home'.
C'into' उचित लगा। परंतु 'into' गति का भाव देता है; 'stayed' के साथ 'at home' शुद्ध है।'into' looked right because it suggests entering a home. But 'into' shows movement, while 'stayed' needs 'at home'.
D'stayed in home' सहज लगा। परंतु निश्चित प्रयोग 'at home' है।'stayed in home' reads smoothly, so no change seemed needed. But the fixed phrase is 'at home', not 'in home'.
