did they borrow vs did they borrowed

The correct phrase is "did they borrow". In English, the auxiliary verb "did" is followed by the base/root form of the main verb, which in this case is "borrow". The incorrect phrase "did they borrowed" uses the past tense form of the verb after the auxiliary verb, which is grammatically incorrect.
