Solution

The correct option is D delicious
B:The correct answer is Option D.
DELICIOUS means highly pleasant taste. Everyone likes to have appetizing food. The children were thus eagerly waiting to eat a DELICIOUS CAKE.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option A: DELICATE means FINE or DAINTY.
Option B: DAINTY means DELICATE.
Option C: APPETIZING means SOMETHING THAT EXCITES THE TASTE, it may not be necessarily pleasant in taste. Moreover, 'appetizing' would need the article 'an' before it as it begins with a vowel. But the article before the blank in the sentence is 'a.'
Thus, Option D is the correct answer.
