Correct Answer: when


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

Scarcely...when are correlative conjunctions and are used to refer to an action that occurs almost immediately after another action. The sentence conveys the meaning that Ramesh met his father as soon as he went there.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: Scarcely had Ramesh gone there when he met his father.
