Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
"Meets" should be replaced with "to meet" since "meets" is in the singular present form of the verb; therefore, the infinitive form of the verb is used in this context to indicate the purpose behind the action, thereby conveying the meaning that he had put forward an idea to meet at the temple.
The options "for meeting" and "meeting" are in the continuous tense and do not fit in contextually with the sentence since the sentence is in the simple past tense.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He proposed to meet me at the temple."
