Solution
The correct option is B Principal
Homophones are words that have the same or similar pronunciations, but different meanings. 'Principle' and 'principal' are homophones.
Options A and B: 'Principal' is a head or director of a school or college.
'Principle' is an accepted or professed rule of action.
'Principal' is more relevant to the given sentence, as it completes it in meaning: a person going for a meeting.
Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
Options C and D are incorrect for the same: C cannot be correct because A is incorrect, and D cannot be correct because B is correct.
