Concept:
In English, we utilise the concept of tense to refer to time in three ways: past, present, and future. When talking about time, tense is used in several languages. Other languages don't have a concept of tense at all, yet they can nonetheless communicate about time in a variety of ways.
There are 3 different types of tenses used in english:
1- Present tense
Example- I live in India.
2- Past tense
Example- I lived in India.
3- Future tense
Example- I will live in India.
Answer:
(a)- visited
