Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. immense

It was a matter of (1) immense pleasure that the Chief of Police himself came up to us

Immense means to be large or great in scale. 

While terrific and huge also mean something large, terrific is used for someone when one is pleased with that person to a large extent. Further, huge is usually used in terms of size.

Hence, immense is the correct answer.
