B Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (B) "we did helped the poor" - this is grammatically incorrect. After the auxiliary verb "did" (in emphatic or past tense constructions), we use the base form of the main verb, not the past tense form. The correct phrase should be "we did help the poor" or simply "we helped the poor." The "did + base verb" construction is used for emphasis.
