In one day? On one day? At one day? or just one day?

if i want to describe something happening in a day, which expression should i choose from?

A. In one day, I saw her in the streets hanging around with a man

B. On one day, I saw her.....

C. At one day, I saw her........

D. One day, I saw her..............

by the way. which one sounds more right - "in this time" , "on this time', 'at this time"

I don't feel comfortable to "randomly" use a preposition...i hope to use precious grammar. Thanks you all
