No error
Correct Answer: No error
The sentence is correct: fronted "hardly" properly triggers inversion ("had the meeting begun"), and "hardly...when" is the correct correlative pairing. The trap is (b): test-takers replace "when" with "than" by misremembering the "no sooner...than" rule, which does not apply to "hardly".
