Can Someone explain this please?

I think waiting for can be used in place of awaiting.

Although "waiting for" is acceptable, "awaiting for" is not because "await" means "wait for". Writing "await for" would be redundant.
When sending letters by mail, you likely want to be as formal as possible. "Kindly awaiting your approval" would fit this purpose.

I think the answer should be- "The students were waiting for the arrival of the chief guest".

Awaiting is not correct as it should be waiting.

It should be 'waiting'. We use 'await' for non-living objects. Here the object is living i.e. the guest. Therefore, we will use 'waiting for'. Hope it helps. Thank you.

Either we have to say waiting for or awaiting. This is actually correct.
