The correct option is C d
Option D is the correct answer because there are no errors in the given sentence. It is a grammatically sound sentence.
Therefore, options A, B and C are incorrect answers because all these parts have no errors in them.
Keep in mind that collective nouns (e.g. committee, jury, army, team, family etc.) are followed by singular verbs when the group is thought of as a single unit. But when individual members of the group are thought of, the plural verb is used as is the given case when 'were' is used with 'jury'.
