The narrator is at Baker Street "with the intention of awaiting him," which indicates that he is there to see Holmes. Therefore, the correct answer is:
C to see Holmes.
At three o'clock precisely I was at Baker Street, but
Holmes had not yet returned. The landlady informed
me that he had left the house shortly after eight
o'clock in the morning. I sat down beside the fire,
however, with the intention of awaiting him, however
long he might be. I was already deeply interested in
his inquiry, for, though it was surrounded by none of
the grim and strange features which were associated
with the two crimes which I have already recorded.
still, the nature of the case and the exalted station of
his client gave it a character of its own. Indeed, apart
from the nature of the investigation which my friend
had on hand, there was something in his masterly
grasp of a situation, and his keen, incisive reasoning,
which made it a pleasure to me to study his system of
work, and to follow the quick, subtle methods by
which
he
disentangled
the
most
inextricable
mysteries. So accustomed was I to his invariable
success that the very possibility of his failing had
ceased to enter into my head. Why is the narrator at Baker Street?
A to see the landlady
B to visit friends
C to see Holmes
D to solve a mystery
