Depends on the sense. The past tense of "hang" in the sense of "hang something from a hook," "hang a coat on a rack," and so on in, is "hung." The past tense of "hang" in the sense of "execute someone by hanging him or her with a noose around the neck" is "hanged." It's never correct to use "hung" where you should have "hanged," or "hanged" where you should have "hung." They're not interchangeable.

Also, my unabridged has both "hung" and "hanged" as past tense of "hang" (which I knew when I answered the question; I've had occasion to look it up in the past) -- so their "hanged" (as opposed to "Either A or B") is incorrect.
