Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct answer is the first option.
The option,"on seeing" is the correct choice because it uses the gerund form "seeing" to indicate the action of the child that happened after seeing the mother.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
On having seen : While this option is grammatically correct, it adds unnecessary complexity to the sentence.
On seen : This option is not correct. "On seen" is not a grammatically valid construction in English.
So, the sentence should be " On seeing the mother, the child smiled sweetly".
