'Awaiting' and 'waiting' are verbs with the same meaning. If you use "awaiting" you don't need to use "for".

"awaiting" itself refers to waiting for. So awaiting for does not make sense. So option B involves error.

Yeah, "awaiting for" is not the right way. Rather it would be correct to use "waiting for" or "awaiting".

Await = wait for.
So there is no need of preposition after awaiting. Awaiting itself gives waiting for.

Yes @Seshsai, both are same but for is not needed for awaiting and that is the only mistake over there.

"awaiting for" is wrong english.
"waiting for" or "awaiting" is corrct.

In passive progressive, 'for' doesn't come after awaiting. But it does in case of active progressive.

Answer is right.
Awaiting is used for --waiting for. So an extra for after awaiting is not required.

I think awaiting for is incorrect. We can either use awaiting or waiting for, but not awaiting for.

If we use Awaiting it means Waiting for. And we already have for in the sentece. So it is wrong!
