The given sentence states that "The student are doing their homeworks when I entered the class."

The correct answer is "at" because it indicates a specific location where you can sit. "In" would imply being inside the table, "in front of" suggests sitting facing the table, "beside" implies sitting next to the table, "on" indicates sitting on top of the table. "At" is the most appropriate preposition to use in this context to convey that you can sit in a position near or around the table.
