Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) to meeting

In the phrase 'look forward to', the word 'to' is a preposition and not part of an infinitive, so it must be followed by a gerund or noun. Hence 'to meeting' is right. Writing 'to meet' is the common trap, and the other options use wrong prepositions or tenses.
