SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Castigated

The verb is castigate (to reprimand severely); its past tense adds -d to give castigated — single t at the start, i in the second syllable, -ed ending.

"Castegated" uses the wrong vowel (e instead of i); "Castigatad" uses the wrong ending (-ad instead of -ed); "Casttigated" doubles the t. Only option (3) Castigated is correctly spelt.
