Solution : The correct choice is the s econd option.
The given sentence has a grammatical error. The correct conjunction to use after "no sooner" is "than" and not "that". The conjunction "than" is used with "no sooner" to form a pair of correlative conjunctions to express the idea that one event happened immediately after another event.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: No sooner had I finished my final exam than my friends invited me to join them on a trip to Europe.
