Option 4, "He broke her heart by turning down her proposal," is the correct sentence. Here's why:

1. **Explanation for Option 4:**
   - The verb "broke" is the past tense of "break." In this sentence, the action of breaking her heart occurred in the past, so the past tense is appropriate. The sentence correctly uses "broke" to indicate that the action has already happened. Additionally, the phrase "by turning down her proposal" correctly describes the manner in which he broke her heart, making the sentence grammatically and contextually accurate.

2. **Explanation for why other options are incorrect:**

- **Option 1: "He break her heart by turning down her proposal."**
     - The verb "break" is in the present tense, which is incorrect for this context. The sentence describes a past action, so the past tense "broke" should be used instead of "break."

- **Option 2: "He breaked her heart by turning down her proposal."**
     - The word "breaked" is not a correct form of the verb "break." The correct past tense form is "broke." Therefore, this option is grammatically incorrect.

- **Option 3: "He has breaked her heart by turning down her proposal."**
     - Similar to Option 2, "breaked" is not a correct verb form. Additionally, the present perfect tense "has broken" should be used if the sentence were to imply a connection to the present, but since "breaked" is incorrect, this option is also grammatically incorrect.

In summary, Option 4 is the only sentence that correctly uses the past tense form "broke" to accurately convey the action that took place in the past, making it the correct choice.
