Solution

The correct option is D to find
The infinitive verb is a verb with the word 'to' in front of it. This verb is always just a verb. There is no - ed, no - ing, no - s at the end of the verb. Option A is past tense of the verb. With 'did', past tense cannot be used thus, option A is wrong. Option B is used with present perfect tense. Option C is used with progressive tense. Thus, options A, B, C and E are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is D since 'to' is in front of the verb 'find'.
