Answer :

This question is based on phrasal verbs.

The correct sentence is :

Army was called in to deal with the riots in the city.

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'phrasal verb' as 'a combination of a verb and an adverb or a verb and a preposition, or both, in which the combination has a meaning different from the meaning of the words considered separately.'

'Call in' is a phrasal verb, which according to Macmillan Dictionary, means 'to ask a person or organization that provides a service to come and deal with something.'
