Answer:

C) The movie had barely begun when the house lights went on and someone began screaming "He did it! He did it!"

Explanation:

That is the option that uses the past tenses correctly. It shows simple past, past perfect and past continuous.

The simple past is used for actions that happened before now. "...the house lights went on..."

Past perfect is used for actions that were completed before some point in the past, in this case, it is used in "The movie had barely begun..." that happened before the house lights went on.

And finally, past continuous, it refers to an action that was happening at some point in the past. In the sentence example, it is reflected in "... someone began screaming.." That was happening while the lights went on.

I hope this answer helps you.
