[Answer]
会社へは 電車（3 か）バスで 行きます。
I go to the office by train or by bus.
Look at the words before and after the blank:
電車 = train
バス = bus
They are both nouns.
We need a particle to connect them.
First, you may think of “and”:
train and bus
=電車とバス
But と is not one of the choices.
So, what other word can connect these two nouns?
We need a word meaning “or.”
か means “or.”
train or bus
= 電車かバス
電車かバスで行きます。
= You go by one of these two ways: by train or by bus.
Therefore, 3 か is the best answer.
✖ Other Choices:
1 は
→ は marks the topic.
It does not connect two nouns as choices.
2 の
→ の connects two nouns, like わたしのかばん.
It shows a relationship between the nouns. It does not mean “or.”
4 を
→ を marks the object of an action, like りんごを食べます.
It does not connect two nouns as choices.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
