    A place Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C puts Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D placed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E placing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In this sentence, the teacher is giving a one-time instruction to the students. Therefore, we need a base verb ("place") instead of present continuous ("placing"), past perfect ("placed"), or present participle ("putting").
