Answer:

a. Established

Explanation:

A past participle is a word that (1) is formed from a verb, (2) is used as an adjective or to form verb tense, and (3) probably ends with "-ed," "-d," "-t," "-en," or "-n."

In the text, established is used as an adjective. You can tell it's being used as an adjective because it answers the question what kinds of schools? "Established schools."
