The correct answer is "The unexpected blackout occurred near the masquerade ball."

All of the other sentences show the time of the action, not the location of it.

The correct answer is

"The unexpected blackout occurred near the masquerade ball."

Step-by-step explanation:

Prepositions ordinarily interpret the state of something, the time when something happens and the process in which something is done, although the prepositions "of," "to," and "for" hold some separate uses. Prepositions can sometimes be used to complete sentences.
