The answer is D. The verbs of the dependent clause should be swept, washed, and mended. The sentence should read thus: After he swept the floor, washed the dishes, and mended the clothes, Montgomery took a break.

definitely D.
'did mending of the clothes' is wrong. it should be 'mended the clothes'.
swept
washed
all of the above are past tense, so you have to continue with the past tense
mended, not mending.

I agree as well... it should be D. All the verbs need to be in teh same tense / style.
