This a poor question. There is no basis on which to choose between "carried" and "transported" (or even "taken"), and the tense combination, though not impossible, is unexpected and offputting. Edit: Sorry, I guess you could say that "transported" is more often used for larger things.

- However, that still leaves "carried" and "taken".
