The sentence talks about an event that happened in the past, as indicated by the time reference, 2023. Therefore, we need the past tense form of a verb to come after the subject, GOOGLE. The sentence tells us that in 2023, Google gave $10 million in rewards to 632 researchers from 68 countries for finding and reporting security issues in its products and services. PAID (gave money) will fit here. Thus, D is the right answer. The other options are either grammatically or contextually incorrect: Guarded (past tense form verb) - protected against damage or harm. Rejuvenated (past tense form verb) - given new energy to something. Obtains (third person singular verb) - to get or acquire something. Acted (past tense form verb) - took action.
