Solution

The correct option is B Are
Out of the four options, option B is correct. In the case of collective noun, verb can be singular or plural depending on the meaning of the sentence. Here, all the members is the collective noun and acting as individuals. Thus, plural verb 'are' is used. 'Is' and 'was' takes singular subject. Thus, options A, C and D are wrong.
