Solution

The correct option is D was caught
Option B - 'Caught' can't be used here, as 'he' is not the doer. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Was catch' can't be used here. 'He was catch' means that the person was called or named 'catch'. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Had caught' can't be used here as 'he' is not the doer of the action. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option A - 'Was caught' can be used here, as the given sentence is in the passive voice and 'he' is the receiver of the action. Thus option A is the correct answer.
'He was caught while hiding the jewels.'
