Correct Answer: what I was looking for


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The phrase "what I was looking for" is redundant and unnecessary. The correct form should simply be, "Here is the toy I was looking for". The use of "what" adds unnecessary complexity to the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Hurray! Here is the toy I was looking for as my birthday gift."
