Best Answer Explained in Below-:

The phrase 'I went to the market with a view to-' requires a specific grammatical structure to convey the intended meaning. The key part of this phrase is 'with a view to,' which is a prepositional phrase that typically means 'with the intention of' or 'for the purpose of.'

In English, when using 'with a view to,' it is followed by a gerund (the -ing form of a verb). This is a standard grammatical rule. The gerund acts as a noun in this context, indicating the action that is intended. Thus, the correct phrase would be 'with a view to buying,' which suggests the speaker's intention to make a purchase at the market.

Let’s analyze the options:

- A) "buy" is the base form of the verb, which does not fit the structure following 'with a view to.'
- B) "buying" is the gerund form, making it the correct choice as it properly follows the preposition.
- C) "bought" is the past tense verb and does not align with the required structure.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) buying, as it aptly completes the sentence by indicating the intended action of going to the market.
