Correct Answer: All right, I had been waiting


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The part that contains a grammatical error will be, "All right, I had been waiting".

Had been is used to mean that something happened in the past and has already ended.

Whereas, will be is used to refer to actions that will be happening in the future.

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: Mrs. Pooja is very busy at the moment. All right, I will be waiting.
