There are three situation in one sentence.
1) if you don't keep quite " there is an order "
2) i shall shoot you " there is a clear action "
3) He said to her in a calm way " there is an action ".
So answer would be in a past sentence as well as in the combination of three situation. That's way answer "C" is correct.

Calmly is used because the questions say that "he said to her in a calm voice". So, we have to include the tone of the statement to indicate the manner of saying.
