Choose the correct preposition: 'The cat is sitting ___ the chair.'

Correct: B) on
We use 'on' for surfaces. The cat is sitting on the surface of the chair, so 'on' is correct.
Prepositions are position and relationship words — they tell us where something is, when something happens or how things relate to each other. Class 2 IEO covers prepositions of place (in, on, under, behind), time (at, in, on) and direction (to, from, through, into). Bronze questions choose the correct preposition for a simple location. Silver questions test prepositions in longer sentences with more context. Gold questions require all blanks in a sentence to be filled correctly, often mixing time and place prepositions together.
