Hint:In this question you have to choose the correct form of verb. Here, the verb is used to express the occurrence, state or action. The word stuffed ought to be grammatically correct. Ensure the word opted is acceptable for that specific sentence

Complete answer:
Option A) Bought :- This is the correct option and is grammatically correct when used here. As bought is used in simple past tense and it is the past participle of the verb to bring.
Option B) Have bought :- This is not the correct answer and is grammatically incorrect when used here. Hence, this is not the correct option to be opted.
Option C) Had bought :- This is not the correct answer and is grammatically incorrect when used here. Hence, this is not the correct option to be opted.
Option D) None of these :- This option is not correct as one of the given options is correct when used here.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note:A verb is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence. And simple past tense is used to indicate an action which was completed in the past.
Here ' last week' indicates the use of simple past tense, not present perfect or past perfect tenses.
In the given question ‘have bought’ will not come because in the present perfect continuous we can write it as “I have been buying” not ‘have bought’.
Hence, the correct answer is in simple past tense.
