Correct Answer: accede to


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Excede on should be replaced with accede to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Accede means to agree or to yield to a request or demand, whereas exceed means to be greater than a number or amount, which is not correct in the context of the sentence.

Thus, accede is the correct usage, and the correct preposition to use after accede is to. It helps convey that the teacher found it difficult to comply with or grant what the students asked for.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The teacher found it difficult to accede to the students' requests".
