Solution

The correct option is B roasted
The verbs that do not explain the tense of the sentence and do not agree with the subject are called non-finite verbs. Non-finite verbs are usually infinitives, gerunds and participles.
Option A - 'Ate' explains to us that the sentence is in past tense and hence it is a finite verb. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'With' is a preposition and not a verb. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Some' is a determiner and not a verb. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - Though 'roasted' is the past form of the verb, it is a non-finite verb here as it doesn't explain the tense of the sentence and doesn't even agree with the subject. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
