Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
"Where" should be replaced with "when" to convey the intended meaning that the speaker learnt about the robbery as soon as they reached the exhibition. "Hardly...when" is the correct correlative conjunction to be used in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Hardly had I reached the exhibition when I learnt about the major robbery."
