This sentence follows the correct structure for "no sooner than" constructions.

In this structure, the word "no sooner" is followed by an inverted word order in the clause that follows. In this case, "did" is used as the auxiliary verb before the subject "the bells" to maintain the inverted order. This construction emphasizes the immediate sequence of events, where the ringing of the bells is followed immediately by the rising of the curtain.

I think option D is the most appropriate answer. Because No sooner + Had + subject + main verb past participle + Rest.
