Solution
The correct option is D did
Sometimes Do / Does / Did are used in positive sentences to give special emphasis, here to assert the fact that Rita has been called. Since the action happened in the past, "did" must be used. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence incorrect.
