Answer:

D. than the lights went out

Read Explanation:

  • "No sooner had she entered the room than the lights went out and everybody began to make sound. /അവൾ മുറിയിൽ പ്രവേശിച്ചയുടനെ ലൈറ്റുകൾ അണഞ്ഞു, എല്ലാവരും ശബ്ദമുണ്ടാക്കാൻ തുടങ്ങി."
  • The phrase "No sooner... than" is a correlative conjunction used to show that one event happened immediately after another (ഒരു സംഭവത്തിന് തൊട്ടുപിന്നാലെ മറ്റൊന്ന് സംഭവിച്ചുവെന്ന് കാണിക്കാൻ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്ന correlative conjunction ആണ് "No sooner... than")
  • "No sooner had [subject] [past participle] than" is the correct structure to express this immediate sequence of events.
