Solution
The underlined word, 'failure' is an abstract noun which means: someone or something not succeeding. It also means not doing something that one is expected to do. The associated verb is 'fail' which means: To not succeed in what one is trying to achieve/expected to do. The past tense form of the verb is 'failed', as used in Option C, which is the correct answer.
Options A, B, and D are incorrect as there is no word such as 'failued' or 'failured, or 'failted' in the English language. These words carry no meaning.
