Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The text says the Prince "had waited a whole year" for the Princess to arrive, but there's no indication he's afraid she may not arrive. Eliminate A.
• Option B: The Prince waited a year, and when the Princess arrives, he is at the castle (implied by "Castle the Prince was waiting..."). His waiting and the description of him seeing her and reacting positively (sank upon one knee, etc.) suggest he is looking forward to meeting her. This fits.
• Option C: There's no mention of the King's wishes about the Prince meeting the Princess. Eliminate C.
• Option D: No mention of the King forcing the Prince to wait. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. the Prince is looking forward to meeting the Princess
