In case no improvement is needed choose option 4 'No improvement' as your answer. The story was interested so the children listened with utmost attention and never budged an inch. Correct Answer Was interesting

The verb 'interested' is incorrect here and must be replaced with the present participle 'interesting'. 

The present participle can be used as a subject complement placed after verbs like be, seem, look, turn, become, appear etc.

Eg: The long journey was tiring.

Option 1 is thus the correct answer.
