A. He becomes mentally tortured by his actions
What did the author say? Its hard to answer without content clues.
The answer would be A, helped. A transitive verb is an action verb, which is a verb where someone does something physically or mentally, with an indirect object right after, or someone who receives the action of the verb. So, the action verb in the sentence is helped and the indirect object is the injured man, which makes the transitive verb "helped." Hope this helps!
