To determine the correct answer, let's break down the sentence and analyze the options:

"He agreed to (interview the candidate)."

The sentence describes someone agreeing to perform an action, which is to interview the candidate. The current phrase, "waiting in the lobby in the red suit," is not grammatically correct and disrupts the flow of the sentence.

Now let's review the options:

a. "waiting in the lobby in the red suit"
- This option repeats the incorrect phrase.

b. "wearing the red suit waiting in the lobby"
- This option correctly implies that the candidate is wearing the red suit while waiting in the lobby. However, it is a bit awkwardly worded.

c. "that waited in the lobby in the red suit"
- This option changes the meaning of the sentence, as it suggests that the candidate has already waited in the lobby, indicating the action is already completed.

d. "who waited in the lobby, wearing a red suit"
- This option is the most suitable and efficient choice. It correctly identifies the candidate as someone who waited in the lobby, while also specifying that they were wearing a red suit.

Therefore, the correct answer is d. "who waited in the lobby, wearing a red suit."
