Solution

The correct option is B moved
Answer : B

The Past tense is used to refer to a completed action in the past but with a clear reference to the specific time of action in the past.

Here in the question, we see that the speaker is referring to a past action (i.e moving to London) with a reference to a specific time in the past (i.e. 1995).

Formulation:
  • For Regular verbs add "-ed" to the end of the infinitive form of the verb
  • Irregular verbs
Here the verb is move, & past tense of move is -- moved.

Therefore the correct complete sentence is:
They MOVED to London in 1995.

Looking at the other options:
--move : base / root form of the verb
--is moving : present continuous tense (singular)
--has moved : present perfect tense
