--explanation--

Look forward to is a phrasal verb that always needs to be followed by a noun or a verb in its -ing form. For example:

  • I'm looking forward to meeting with the team tomorrow. – Here, meeting is the -ing form of the verb, making the sentence correct.

  • We are looking forward to the event next week. – In this case, event is a noun, which is also correct.

Incorrect examples often use the base form of the verb instead of the -ing form. The correct answer follows this rule.
