Solution

The correct option is C He arrived just in time for the ceremony.
Option A is incorrect as "just" is part of a popular phrase "just deserts" rather than an adverb. Both options B and D are incorrect as well since "just" modify the nouns "society" and "law" respectively, making it an adjective.

In option C, the word "just" describes the time of the action ("arrived"), making it an adverb. Therefore, option C is correct.
