B Correct answer
Explanation

'Got punctured' uses the get-passive construction common with accidents and mishaps, especially with vehicles. 'Was punctured' would be more formal but 'got punctured' is idiomatic. 'Punctured' lacks auxiliary, and 'has punctured' would mean the bike actively punctured something else. The context shows passive voice needed.
