The correct option is- b) broke

Explanation:

• The verb tense in English grammar demonstrates the time frame of a ver's activity or its state of being.

Most English verbs possess five forms:

• The base or root form of the verb,

• The third-person singular present,

• The simple past,

• The present participle and

• The past participle form.

• The correct form of any verb depends on the context it is applied.

• Here, the given context expresses that the speaker is unknown of the past activity in the present i.e. at the moment now.

• To fill in the verb, first, it has to satisfy the agreement with its subject.

• The sentence describes the act of not knowing in the third person and with a hint of the past.

Hence, the verb will take the simple past form i.e. (b) broke.
