Solution

The correct option is C riot was broken out
The sentence is in active voice. The riot broke out. So, 'auxiliary plus the past participle form of the main verb cannot be used'. Hence, part B contains the error. The other parts are fine. Option E cannot be correct as the sentence has an error in it.
