    Correct letter A. Sounds more efficient than the letter B also it's used in past tense

    A

    Explanation:

    A uses a past tense (rang) which is correct for a past tensed sentence

    Mean while B uses a present tense (ringing) for a sentence which is past tensed, which makes no sense and is absolute non sense.
