Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A. and B. are wrong because the verbs are not correctly conjugated.

C. is wrong because because the verb jumped up is conjugated using the preterite tense while was cheering is in the continuous past instead.

D. is correct because both verbs are in the preterite tense.
