Firstly, eliminating the options, we check whether the option or the verb that needs to be filled in the blank is in perfect tense or not, as according to the structure of the sentence, a verb that needs to be filled in has to be such that the sentence is in present perfect form.
So, option B is eliminated as it is in -ing form.
Option C can't be the answer as accidents can never be 'overtaken'.
Option D too can't be the answer as 'held' is generally used for an event, and not for accidents. So, option A i.e., 'caused' seems to be the most appropriate option.
