    Solution

    Due to the use of 'has' before the highlighted part necessitates the use of past perfect form of verb. So, we need to use 'shied'. The highlighted part and options II and III are incorrect for this reason. Only I can make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful. C is the right answer
