C Correct answer
Explanation

When describing a collision or impact with an object, we use 'crash into.' The bus collided with the tree, so 'crashed into a tree' is correct. 'Crash over' would mean going above something, and 'crash by' would mean crashing near something, not into it. The preposition 'into' shows movement from outside to inside contact with the object.
