The correct answer is "I returned home".

Key Points

  •  Here we need to correct the incorrect usage of tense.
  •  'Last ' word indicates that the tense is simple past.
  •  The simple past tense is used to talk about a past activity.
  •  The structure goes like :
    • Subject(He/she/It/I/You/We/They)+Past form of the Verb(V2)
  • Therefore 'returned' will be used instead of 'returning' in the above-given sentence for making it error-free.
  •  Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
