Model Answer

(a) ate

Anyas ate all the chocolates kept in the tray.

Explanation

The sentence refers to a completed past action (all chocolates are gone), so the simple past tense "ate" is correct. "Eating" is a present participle, "have eaten" requires a plural subject, and "eaten" alone cannot function as a verb without an auxiliary.
