Answer :

The only sentence which has inappropriate shift in tense is A) Lauren laughed out loud after she listens to joke.
It should be listened, in the past, not listens, in the present.

A. Lauren laughed out loud after she listens to joke.

If this was written correctly, it would say:

Lauren laughed out loud after she listened to the joke.
