The correct answer is ক) came 

Complete sentence: He came home the day before yesterday.

Explanation:

• Words like yesterday, ago, last week/month/year, day before yesterday indicate a specific time in the past.

• When the action happened at a definite past time, the past form of the verb must be used, even if in Bengali the sentence seems present-like.

Examples:

• He came home the day before yesterday. 

• She bought the book last month. 

• Father came home yesterday. 

• I saw him long ago. 

Incorrect forms explained:

• খ) has come  → Present perfect is used for indefinite past, not for a specified past time.

• গ) had been come  → Wrong structure; “come” is intransitive and doesn’t form passive.

• ঘ) come  → Base form is incorrect; past tense came is required.
