Correct Answer: waiting for me
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .
The correct preposition to be used with intransitive verbs like "waiting" is "for" when the verb is targeting a noun. So, "waiting for" would be the most appropriate substitution.
So, the corrected sentence would be: "When I reached home late, I found my children waiting for me."
