Solution

The correct option is C My mother was very much delighted to hear my brother's safe arrival.
An infinitive form is to+verb in present tense. Here, the main verb is hear and infinitive is "to hear". Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.
