    A.

    for

    B.

    in

    C.

    to

    D.

    with

    Correct option is C


    The correct preposition is to.
    · Explanation:
    · The correct phrasal verb is "look forward to", which is always followed by a noun or gerund (–ing form).
    · Hence, the sentence becomes: The old man is looking forward to the visits of his grandchildren.
    · Grammatical rule used:
    · “Look forward to” is a fixed phrase that always takes "to" as a preposition, not part of the infinitive.
    Explanation in Hindi:
    “Look forward to” का अर्थ होता है किसी चीज़ की प्रतीक्षा करना या उत्साह से इंतजार करना। इसके साथ हमेशा "to" preposition लगता है।
    Meanings of other options:
    · (a) for – incorrect with this expression.
    · (b) in – wrong usage.
    · (d) with – incorrect preposition.
