Answer 1

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. C

clipboard Explanation:

Some conjunctions such as: '; No sooner...than', 'Hardly/scarcely...when', are used in a pair. No sooner............ than is coordinating conjunction and both occur together.
For example :
- Hardly had I left the cinema hall than I saw the actor himself.
- Hardly had I left the cinema hall when I saw the actor himself.
Hence in the 3rd part of the sentence, 'than' will be used instead of 'when'.

Whenever 'did' is used as an auxiliary/helping verb, the main verb will be in 1st form.
In case of these conjunctions, an inverted form of the verb will be used as illustrated in the examples above.

Correct Sentence: No sooner did the comedian begin his act than the audience roared with laughter.
