Correct Answer: (3)

Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Broke into means "entered illegally" which contextually fits in the sentence, making the explanation of the sentence "the burglar forcefully entered the shop last night".
Broke in the first option means "to scatter to pieces", which doesn't apply here.
The phrasal verb broke through in the second option means made or forced a way through a barrier, which is inappropriate to use in this context.

Therefore, the correct statement would be: "The burglar broke into the shop last night."
