The correct option is (b).

The dog was run over by the car.

Explanation:

• The suitable phrasal verb to be filled in is run over.

• The correct form of the verb must be used to show the tense of the sentence.

• The form of the verb depends on the word that is before the verb and the subject of the sentence and the tense.

• The second form of the verb is mostly used in the Past tenses, whereas the first forms of the verb are used in Present tenses.

• And in continuous sentences "ing" is added to show the action is still going on.

• A verb that comes before the main verb in a sentence is called a helping verb.

• The helping verbs are the ones that, just like their name, aids the main action in a sentence by giving it more meaning. It also helps in showing different ideas.
