Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

This is because "with open hands" should be replaced with the idiom "with open arms" which means "in an enthusiastic manner", thereby indicating that when the prodigal son returned, the father gave him a warm and enthusiastic welcome.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "When the prodigal son returned home, his father welcomed him with open arms."
