A Correct answer
Explanation

'In honor of' is the correct phrase when something is created to recognize or commemorate someone. A statue erected 'in honor of' a great man means it was built to pay tribute to him. 'On honor of' and 'at honor of' are not correct expressions. 'By the honor' would indicate the method or agent, which doesn't fit.
