No error
4.
the children will have been waiting

Correct Answer: the children will have been waiting

The time clause "by the time the chief guest arrived" is set in the past, so the main clause needs the past perfect continuous — "had been waiting" — not the future perfect "will have been waiting". Parts (a) and (b) are grammatically sound, which makes (c) the wrong choice.
