Solution

The correct option is D Are / women
The correct answer is Option D.
From the number 4 in the sentence we know that there is more than 1 woman on the sofa.
ARE is used when there is more than 1 subject.
WOMEN is the plural of WOMAN.
Hence Option D is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option A: WOMAN is singular and there are 4 women in the sentence.
Option B: IS can be used when there is only 1 subject.
Option C: WAS is also used when there is a single subject.
