- Bcontains
- Ccontained
- Dcontaining
Explanation
After 'does not', the base form of the verb is required: 'does not contain'. 'Contains' is the third-person singular form (wrong after the auxiliary 'does'), 'contained' is past tense, and 'containing' is a participle. Hence (A) contain is correct.
