Verified by Toppr

The given sentence is in simple past form as can be inferred from the word 'moved'. Therefore the accompanying verb in the sentence 'sit' should also be in its simple past form which is 'sat'. Therefore options B, C and D are incorrect.

Whereas other options are not in simple past form, therefore, are incorrect. Option A is the correct answer.
