According to me.

It should be "passes the examination" not "passes in the examination".

According to me,

Passes is correct because "he" is a singular noun so that "verb first form + es/ s in present simple.

D should also be a right answer because .. i think " passes in the examination " is not correct... " pass' in the examination " should be correct as my perception.

@Nitika : As the sentence is representing feature so we should use give.

'he' is 3rd person singular so passes is correct.
