Explanation:

Correct Answer is (d).The sentence can be completed using either the phrase (I) or (III). It is to be noted that f a sentence is begun with a negative word like 'hardly, scarcely, no sooner etc. the word order should be reversed (Negative word + auxiliary + subject + verb) in that clause. Moreover phrase (III) “I had arrived there” also forms a grammatically viable sentence. Hence, option (d) is the most suitable answer choice.
