The correct answer is has done.
Correct sentence:
The small child does whatever his father has done.
Reason:
The main verb is “does” (present tense, habitual action).
To show that the child follows actions already completed by his father, we use the present perfect → has done.
did/does/had done don’t fit the tense logic here.
No correction required is also incorrect.
So, final answer: has done.

@All.
Here, "was done" is in the passive voice and past tense. The sentence is about the child imitating the father's actions in the present. So, Voice to use is the simple present active: "does".
