B
Correct answer
Explanation
The present perfect tense ("has received") is used with "just" to describe a very recent action. "Receiving" is incorrect because it needs "has been" for perfect progressive. "To receive" is infinitive and doesn't fit the auxiliary "has." "Receive" is base form and doesn't work with "has."
AI explanation
"Received" is correct because "has just ___" is the present perfect construction, which requires the past participle of the verb. "Receiving" and "receive" don't match this pattern, and "to receive" is an infinitive form that doesn't fit after "has."
