Option 1 : did they speak
The sentence construction is incorrect in the given statement. Since the act that took place in the past (as suggested by ‘spoke’) and has been completely finished, the simple past tense should be used. So the sentence should be written as: Not a word did she speak to the unfortunate mother about it. Since all the options have replaced ‘her’ with ‘they’, option 1 is the correct answer.
