Solution
The correct option is B Smiled
The simple past is a verb tense that is used to talk about things that happened or existed before now. The action of smiling happened before now. To formulate the Simple Past for regular verbs, we add -ed to the root form of the verb (or just -d if the root form already ends in an e): smile(d). Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options mention actions in the present (options A and C) and in the future (option D). Hence they're incorrect.
