Solution
The correct option is B Functioned
'Served' means to be of some specified use.
"the square now serves as the town's chief car park"
In this context, "That big house surrounded with great trees had served as a hospital during the war.", 'served' means functioned. Hence, option A is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
