I am looking forward to ___ you.

গmet

ব্যাখ্যা
The correct answer is (b) meeting.
Grammar Rule:
"Look forward to" is a phrasal verb where "to" is a PREPOSITION (not an infinitive marker). After a preposition, we always use a Gerund (V+ing), not the base form.
Formula: look forward to + Gerund (V+ing)
→ I am looking forward to meeting you. ✓
Similar structures with "to" as a preposition:
— be used to + V-ing (I am used to working late.)
— be accustomed to + V-ing
— object to + V-ing (He objects to being criticized.)
— in addition to + V-ing
✗ "meet" — base verb; cannot follow preposition "to" in this structure.
✗ "met" — past tense; grammatically incorrect here.
