The answer is B
When ever something is done rapidly it doesn't require a past tense

"Drove past" is correct, as in, "I was waving frantically but you drove past me." Drove is the past tense of drive. Past is a preposition in this usage. Passed is the past tense of pass.

Drove past is a prepositional collocation.Note that the word past is not a verb rather it is a preposition that is beyond a particular point...it cannot be used alongside any motion verbs

A. Past should be the correct answer here.
'pass', 'passed' and 'passing' are all lexical verbs. A lexical verb 'drove' has already been used in the statement and another verb cannot be used immediately beside it in that context. So, 'past' which is an adverb should be the appropriate word to use. 'past' means 'passing by without stopping'
He drove past me. (You drove by my side without stopping)
