I believe the answer is: a place where he feels comfortable and accepted

The phrase 'fit in' is used to compare his position in life with a puzzle. For a puzzle to fit in, the board need to provide a correct size of the puzzle so the puzzle piece does not need to be changed or reshaped to be placed properly.

In his life, this can be translated to a place where he is comfortable and accepted for who he is without having to change any of his characteristics.

From the excerpt given above, 'fits in' as used in this passage means to feel comfortable and acceptable in a place, thus the correct option is A. An idiom is a group of words that is not taken literally, that is, their meaning can not be deduced from those of individual word. 'Fit in' as an idiom means to be comfortable with something or someone, to be in harmony with that thing.
