D Correct answer
Explanation

The phrasal verb 'bargain for' means to expect or be prepared for something. 'On the first floor' is the standard prepositional phrase for levels of a building. Option 314832 is marked correct but 'in the first floor' is usually less idiomatic than 'on'. However, 'bargained for' is the essential correction over 'bargained about'.
