Solution

The correct option is D became uncontrollably wild
Option C: 'Went berserk', or 'to go berserk' is an idiomatic expression. These expressions have meanings different from the literal meanings of the individual words.
The expression means 'to go crazy or furious and do violent things'. The horse here suddenly went crazy.
'Wild' also means 'furious'. Hence option C best expresses the meaning and it is correct.
Options A, B and D do not give the meaning of the idiomatic expression. Hence they're wrong.
