A Correct answer
Explanation

'By dint of' is an idiom meaning 'by means of' or 'through the effort of'. The sentence means through hard work, he achieved a high position. 'By hint of' is not a standard phrase, while 'do away with' means abolish, 'called off' means cancelled, and 'get out' means leave.
