The Correct Option is B

The sentence refers to a past action at a specific point in time, which requires the past simple tense.

In negative sentences using the past simple, the auxiliary verb "did" is used, followed by the base form of the main verb.

"Didn't know": The correct past simple negative form using "didn't" + base form "know."
Other options do not fit the structure and context of the sentence.

The correct sentence should be:

"He didn't know the answer to the question."

Thus, the correct answer is (B) "didn't know."
