We can not use 2nd or 3rd form of verb repeatedly. It may have got drown.

"drowned" means suffocating under water and dying and were as "Sink" is the act of submerging under water.

If something is not alive or doesn't breathe air, it cannot drown, but it can sink.

"got drowned" contains the wrong tense and simply "drowned" should be used.

Priya said:   8 years ago
Thank you all for the explanation.

Ronak said:   8 years ago
No need use two verbs and drowned mean's air fly and the second verb used so I think should be answer (c).
