The correct answer is: B. Several items in the room were destroyed by the burglar. Even the carpet was torn.
The other options are incorrect because they do not use the correct verb tense. Option A uses the present tense, which is incorrect because the action of destroying the items has already happened. Option C uses the past participle “torn” as an adjective, which is also incorrect. Option D uses the present participle “being destroyed” as a noun, which is also incorrect.
The correct verb tense to use in this sentence is the past tense, because the action of destroying the items has already happened. The past tense of the verb “destroy” is “destroyed.” Therefore, the correct sentence is:
Several items in the room were destroyed by the burglar. Even the carpet was torn.
This sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the meaning of the original sentence accurately.
