A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct formal expression when inviting someone is 'I have pleasure in inviting' or more commonly 'I am pleased to invite.' Option A 'I am pleased to' correctly completes this formal invitation structure. 'Am pleased inviting' is grammatically incorrect, while 'have pleasure to' and 'shall have pleasure in' use incorrect constructions.
