Solution
Verified by Toppr

The action 'saw' happened in the past and is thus written in simple past tense. The second action 'stopping of the clock' was already complete when the first action (seeing) happened so the second action will be written in the Past Perfect Tense. Hence, the answer is 'had stopped'.
