A.

to hold shop

B.

to shop

C.

to shopper

D.

to see shopping

Correct option is B

Explanation of the Correct Answer: · "For shopping" is incorrect because "waiting for someone" should be followed by "to + verb."
· Correct phrase: "waiting for Asha to shop."
· The corrected sentence:
· "While I was waiting for Asha to shop, I spilled lemonade on my new trousers."
Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (a) "To hold shop" → Incorrect; unnatural phrasing.
· (c) "To shopper" → Incorrect; "shopper" is a noun, not a verb.
· (d) "To see shopping" → Incorrect; incorrect verb form.
Thus, the correct answer is (b) "to shop."
