The match was cancelled because it rained.

正解 · Answer

解説 · Why

〜せいで attributes an undesirable result to a cause: 雨が ふった せいで 試合が 中止に なった ("the match was cancelled because it rained"). Ordering places で in the ★ slot.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
The subject of the result clause comes last — fourth slot, before 中止に なった.
The past verb opens the reason clause — first slot.
The noun せい (fault/cause) follows the plain past — second slot.
