"waitinng for" is equivalent to "awaiting".

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

"awaiting" itself means waiting for. So, no need to use "for" again.

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

Why can't it be present continuous A) students are awaiting the arrival of chief guest?

Awaiting itself means waiting for so waiting "for" is not required.

Actually Awaiting means "to wait for"and hence is the answer.

Actually we can express the waiting for in a single word awaiting.
Awaiting for is not perfect. Those are not agree with me then they have to think that waiting for and awaiting for both could not be same isn't it.
So, the answer will be Option B.
