Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : They painted her house white for her yesterday.

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 'They painted her house white for her yesterday.'

• In the given sentence, 'Has' is used as a causative verb. 
• What are causative verbs: The causatives are the verbs that are used to indicate that one person causes another person to do something for the first person. Subject + have + object (usually thing) + past participle form of a verb (V₃)
• Let's see an example:
  • John had his car washed. (In this sentence John will not wash his car somebody else will wash his car.)
     

Hence, Only Option 3 is given the same meaning as the meaning given in the given sentence that's why it is the correct sentence.
