Answer:

he had wanted.(c)

Explanation:

It was a question testing reporting speech rules. It is reported speech:

The man said to the boy, "What do you want?"

According the rules the correct sentence should have been as shown below:

The old man (a)/ asked the boy what (b)/ he wanted.(c)/ No error(d)

According to reported speech rules for interrogative sentences 'do want' is changed into 'wanted' while converting from direct to indirect speech.
