A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence uses 'did not heard' which is grammatically incorrect. After the auxiliary verb 'did not', we must use the base form of the verb 'hear', not the past tense form 'heard'. The correct construction is 'did not hear'. This is a standard error in using auxiliary verbs.
