While the kids were playing by the pool, one of them was dropping his ball and trying to get it out himself.

Answer 1

The second and third!

The first sentence has double use of past participle (had) so it’s wrong.

The fourth has the wrong tense in “was dropping”. Should be: dropped. Also, “trying” should be “was trying”.
