Let us analyze the sentence components and then identify the correct option: Sentence: (i) I was disappointed (ii) when I came for seeing you last evening (iii) but could not find you at home. Analysis of components:

Component	Analysis
Component (i)	"I was disappointed" This is grammatically correct. There is no error here.
Component (ii)	"when I came for seeing you last evening" This contains a grammatical error. The correct phrasing should be "when I came to see you last evening" (not "for seeing").
Component (iii)	"but could not find you at home" This is grammatically correct. There is no error here.

Therefore, the error is only in component (ii) of the sentence. Hence, the correct option is Option 2.
