Both b and c are wrong, in opt C "the tooth" is a superfluous error.

Why isn't the answer is in Past Perfect Tense (My tooth had stopped aching)? Please clarify my doubt. Thanks in advance.

Past perfect follows simple fast when two statements occur in past tense.

Was aching indicates that anyone helped or forced to stop aching i.e. was is used in passive form but it is not in passive sense so the sentence is incorrect.

Why we should not use 'was' please give my answer in brief?

I think we can also use 'had stopped aching'.

I think the right answer will be"had stopped aching".

Instead of "out of", can we use "because of".
Rachna said:

Can I use "had stopped" instead of just "stopped".

Very well Rakesh. Here we are dealing with past" indefinite" (simple past tense) , we do not require "past continuous"hence "was" should be omitted. Option B is absolutely correct.
