I meant ... a pencil but there was no one .... there.
buying/selling
to buy/to sell
buying/to sell
buy/to sell
to buy/selling
Explanation
The verb 'meant' is in its past form. All the options except option B show the present tense verb form which does not agree with the existing tense. Option B is the correct answer as it completely indicates a to-infinitive verb form that does not change for tense.
