o

D). We have been waiting to see you.

Explanation:

The adaptation that most aptly keeps the original meaning as well as the tone of the message intact would be 'we have been waiting to see you.' The king displays a very embracing and warming attitude while welcoming Rosencrantz and Guildenstern which is clearly reflected through his statement 'we much did long to see you.' The above sentence preserves the tenderness and affection of the message without any flaw or manipulation and conveys it precisely and effectively. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
