The correct form of the idiom in quotes that completes the sentence correctly is option B) cast a long shadow over. It means having considerable influence over someone or some event.
Even though the idiom is referring to something in the past, the past form the verb 'cast' is also 'cast'. So, 'casted a long shadow' is wrong.
