Rewrite the sentence, instead of using 'somebody' or 'they', write a passive sentence:
When we got to the stadium we found that they had cancelled the game.
When we got to the stadium, we found that _____________. [Intermediate]
When we got to the stadium, we found that _____________. [Intermediate]
The correct option is D ... we found that the game had been cancelled.
An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.
The correct answer is D)... we found that the game had been cancelled.
The option D is correct as the given sentence is in active voice and to transform it into passive voice (which is incomplete) the subject of the given sentence (they) comes in the place of the object(the game) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the simple past tense, 'been' is added after the helping verb 'had' and before the past participle form of the main verb(cancel).
Options A,B, and C are wrong as is , has , and was cannot be used respectively.
