Answers
The swimmer swam across the river.
The correct preposition to be used here is 'across'.
Though the other options are also prepositions, they are not appropriate here.
One cannot swim on a river, or even at the river.
Swimming through a river makes sense, but considering the options 'through' and 'across', it is clear that 'across' is the best possible choice here.

Swimmer swam across the river.
- We are using "across" as the proposition for the given sentence.
- Preposition: These are the words used before a noun, pronoun, or a noun phrase indicating direction, time, movement, etc.,
- The word "across" indicates the direction in the given sentence which fits in well for the sentence given.
- The other option "on", "at" or "through" is not a correct preposition as one cannot swim on/at/through the river.
