This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2026 GAT Question Paper (13-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

The teacher had the students rewrite the essay.

In the causative construction with 'have', the pattern is 'have + object + bare infinitive' ('have someone do something'), so 'had the students rewrite the essay' is correct. 'Make' also takes a bare infinitive, so 'made... to rewrite' is wrong, and 'have' cannot be followed by 'to + infinitive' as in option (b).
