Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) got it fixed

Explanation

He did not do the repair himself, so he had somebody else do it. The causative form "got it fixed" says this. "Got fixed" would mean that he himself was repaired, and the other options do not suit the past tense of the sentence.
