Correct Answer: Option C — and cause huge losses
Logical Breakdown
Identify 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.
