For a verb to be transitive, the action verb must be followed by a direct object. The direct object is the object or person who receives the action of the verb.

The sentence which contains a transitive verb is D) The actor accepted the role in the upcoming sequel to his block buster movie.

In this sentence, the noun, role, is receiving the action of being "accepted." The action verb here is accepted.
