Solution

The correct option is B Was being knitted

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

The given sentence is in the active voice.

The correct answer is C) Was being knitted

Option C) is correct as 'at that time refers past continuous tense.

Options A, B, and D are not correct as 'was' alone and 'has' cannot be used, and 'knit' is not used in its third form.
