Explanation
Sentence 1 is wrong: “He plays quiet well” needs the adverb “quietly” (or “quite well”). Sentence 2 is wrong: “They had a quite wedding” needs the adjective “quiet”, not the adverb “quite”. Sentence 3 is correct: “quit” means to leave or resign, so “quit as the manager” is right. Only sentence 3 is correct, giving answer (b).
