The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The underlined part is already correct. The team returned home after the win, a completed past action, and the idiom is returned home without a preposition. So the best choice simply keeps the original wording.

  • who returned home after winning is correct because simple past states the completed return and home is used correctly without to.
  • who will be returning home after winning is wrong because future tense clashes with a reception arranged for a team that has already come back.
  • who returned to home after winning is wrong because return home takes no to; you return home, not return to home.
  • who had returned home after winning is wrong because past perfect is not needed here, and it wrongly suggests the return happened well before another past event.

The original phrasing is the right answer, who returned home after winning.
