The correct answer is option d) had done, because whatever his father did, that is in the long past which should be mentioned in the past perfect tense.

Logically a small child cannot take the responsibility of doing what his father has done earlier; instead he can repeat what his father does.

1. The sentence is in simple present tense.
2. "father" in the sentence is third person singular number,
Hence 'does' is appropriate one.

A child repeats what ever is done in front of him because he is the stage of learning so what his father does he does the same.
