Solution
The correct option is A Our father was the driver of the bus. A verb is an action word. It describes the act of doing something in a sentence. 'Drove' is the verb given for the sentence.
One of the ways of changing a verb into a noun is to add a determiner like 'the' or 'a' before a verb, which usually signifies the following word will be a noun.
Thus, option A is the correct answer as 'the' determiner is added to make noun 'the driver'.
