Basically, drown is the act of getting suffocated by water. Whereas sink just means falling in the water. Here ship definitely will not get suffocated by the water. Right?
So sank is used here. Fish and ship both will sink. Not drown.

Got and drowned both are second form of verb either we can use "got" or "drowned" at one place.

We cannot use double past tense in the same sentence. Hence option C is in error

Suppose in the place of ship consider Tree/plant /Alge, which word we can use?

Instead of in, into is more suitable, as the drowning is the verb that expresses movement.

In option A, why we won't use "The Indian ship " instead of An Indian ship?
