Solution

The correct option is A No sooner did Daniel keep his phone down than it started ringing again.
'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 A is the correct answer as the auxiliary verb 'did' is before the subject 'Daniel'. Options B and C are grammatically wrong. 'Than' should be used in option D thus it is also a wrong option.
