Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
I was delight in the moment I saw her.

Correct option is D

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) was delighted.
Explanation: The verb “was” must be followed by a past participle to form a passive voice or to describe an emotional state.
"Delighted" is the correct past participle of "delight."
Hence, “was delighted” is correct to express a past emotional reaction.
Grammatical rule used: Linking verbs (like “was”) + past participle = state of being.
Example: I was delighted to see my old friend again.
