Correct Answer:
Option C —
and cause huge losses
Logical BreakdownIdentify the Time Marker: The sentence begins with the word "Yesterday," which establishes that the entire event took place in the past.
The First Action: The first verb is "destroyed," which is correctly written in the Simple Past Tense.
The Second Action: The second verb, "cause," is currently in the Present Tense. To maintain consistency with "Yesterday" and "destroyed," it must be changed to its past tense form: caused.
Corrected Sentence
