Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The correct structure follows the adverbial inversion rule for "No sooner... than".
When a sentence begins with "No sooner", the auxiliary verb is inverted before the subject:



Since the verb risen is in its past participle form (), the auxiliary verb had must be used. If the verb were in its base form (rise), did would be used.
