Solution

The correct option is B was given
The most appropriate form of the verb is "was given" because the information is always considered a singular noun. From the sentence, we can understand that the proceedings are ongoing because "has admitted" is used in the first part of the sentence. It indicates that the action continues up to the present. But the incorrect information was given before the proceedings. So, it must be written in the simple past tense.
