Looking at this table, we can easily identify:
Simple past: past tense → "won" (B)
Past continuous: was/were + verb-ing → "was winning" (D)
Past perfect: had + past participle → "had won" (A)
Past perfect continuous: had been + verb-ing → "had been winning" (C)
So our answer is option 3: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Tricks:
- If it has "-ing" -> continuous tense
- "had/has/have" -> perfect tense
- If it has both (had/has/have + verb-ing) -> perfect continuous tense
