Detailed Solution

We know, “no sooner” always comes after “than'' in every sentence.
Now, let’s look into the options.
1)      The first sentence contains the verb “do” in its present tense form instead of past tense. So, this option is incorrect.
2)      The second sentence contains “had” instead of “did” (the past tense form of “do”). Therefore, this option is incorrect.
3)      The third sentence is absolutely correct as the past tense of the verb “do” is followed by the subject “we”.
4)      The last sentence contains ”then” instead of “than”. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Hence, the above sentence can be rewritten as:
“No sooner did we come out of the hotel than it started raining”.
