Solution

The correct option is C Fast
An adverb is a word that modifies/describes the meaning of a verb, adjective or another adverb. The two verbs used in the given sentence are: 'drove' and 'lost'. The verb 'drove' is being described/modified by the word 'fast'. Hence, it is an adverb. As this word describes how or in 'what manner' Aryan drove, it is called an adverb of manner. Hence, option C is correct.
Option A is incorrect as it is a verb in simple past tense and not an adverb.
Option B is incorrect as it is a proper noun and not an adverb.
Option D is incorrect as it is a common noun and not an adverb.
