Solution

The correct options are
A NO CHANGE
B Every seat in the auditorium was empty.
The distributive in the given sentence stresses on each individual seat, hence Option A is correct. Option B is correct because 'every' stresses on all members of the group as a whole (All seats in the auditorium were empty). Options C and D are incorrect because the noun requires to be either plural or uncountable and the options contain singular nouns.
