Option C is the correct answer because ‘saw’ is the past tense of see, and since the statement is about yesterday it is correct to use ‘saw’.
‘Did’ is the past tense of do, hence it is correct.
As looking is an action, was is used.
Option A is incorrect because ‘was seeing’ signifies an action being performed continuously, and here seeing a person would mean continuously staring at the person which is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect same explanation as A.
Option B is incorrect because looked is incorrectly used here, because she looked away means that she looked away after looking at her, which is not true.
