the answer would be c

Answer:

The sentence that contains a transitive verb is sentence C.

Explanation:

Transitive verbs have two characteristics: They are action verbs and they select arguments. That is, they express a doable activity and they take direct or indirect objects to complete their meaning. In the sentence above, the NP "archers", subject of the sentence, denotes the people carrying out the action denoted by the verb (passed) and the NP "arrows" functions as the direct object, the object receiving the action.
