Solution

The correct option is D The given verb form is wrong. The correct verb form is: got
Option B Is the correct statement becaue ‘have got’ means they have gotten married recently or in the present, while the grandparents were obviously married in the past, hence it is correct to say that ‘they got married in London’.
Option C is incorrect because ‘had got’ married is used as the past simple participle of ‘have’ and so is incorrect, the correct way of using “had” would be, ‘grandparents had been married in London.’
Option A is incorrect because the verb form is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because ‘have’ is used with the other verbs to form the present perfect, it is correct to use ‘have’ if the statement meant that the grandparents have been married since....
