Solution
The correct option is B No sooner did Sean explain the matter to me than I could understand everything. 'No sooner..than' is used to suggest that one action takes place immediately after another action. When 'no sooner..than' is used at the beginning of the sentences then auxiliary verb goes before the subject. No sooner always introduces the event that occurred first.
The given sentence can be transformed using no sooner..than by beginning the sentence with 'no sooner'' followed by 'than'.
Option B is the correct answer as the auxiliary verb 'did' is before the subject 'Sean'. 'Did' should be used as the given sentence is in the past tense. Options A, C, and D are grammatically wrong.
