The sentence implies that the cars were stolen. The highlighted phrase makes the sentence in active voice, implying that the cars are the doer of an action, which is not the case. So, the phrase needs to be replaced to make the sentence grammatically correct.
'Abducted' is the verb used for humans, animals, etc., but not for non-living things. So, option (a) can be negated.
'To light something on fire' means to make something start to burn, so the incorrect preposition 'in' is used in option (c). So, it is negated.
'Have' should be followed by the past participle form of the verb, whereas 'being' is the present participle, hence option (d) is negated as well.
Replacing the highlighted phrase with option (b) makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
