Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. lavé

  1. Step 1: In 'se laver les mains' the reflexive pronoun is an indirect object and the direct object 'les mains' comes after the verb. Step 2. With the object after the verb, the participle stays invariable. Answer: lavé. Why not the others: the agreeing forms would only be correct if the direct object came before the verb.
