Solution
The correct option is A deserved
Deserved means rightfully earned because of something done or the qualities shown. The sentence is in the simple past tense and so is option A, therefore 'deserved', is the correct answer.
Option B, 'have deserved' is incorrect as it is in the present perfect tense and the sentence requires past tense to be grammatically correct.
Option C, 'qualified' in this context means to get through to the next level. Option C is incorrect as it signifies a game that is yet to be finished, while the sentence clearly mentions that the game was over the previous night and they won the cup.
Option D 'rewarded' means to be given something in recognition of the service provided. This option is not the correct answer because it is grammatically incorrect to use unless it is accompanied by a correct preposition such as 'with'.
