B. Steven was worried about his driving test.

The reason for that is helped, trimmed, and discussed are all verbs that one can see. Where worried can be disguised even though it is still present.

I hope that made sense.

Answer: B) Steven was worried about his driving test.

Explanation: a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence. An action verb explains what the subject of the sentence is doing or has done (it can be a physical or a mental action). From the given options, the sentence that contains a mental action verb, is the corresponding to option B: Steven was worried about his driving test, because "was worried" is an action happening in Steven's mind.
