C Correct answer
Explanation

Calmed means to soothe or make someone/something quieter and less agitated. A gentle voice would naturally calm a crying baby, reducing their distress. Called (shouted/requested), cadged (begged/borrowed), ceased (stopped), and careered (moved wildly) don't fit this soothing context.
