C Correct answer
Explanation

The auxiliary verb 'did' is used to form a question about the past (how did it happen). 'Can' asks about possibility, 'does' is for present tense questions, and 'has' is for present perfect constructions. In past tense questions requiring an auxiliary, 'did' is the correct choice.
