Solution

The correct option is A Was
The sentence has the word 'arrested' which indicates a past tense sentence. So, options A) and C) are eliminated and are not the correct answers. The word 'each' signifies that every person/individual is considered separately. So, it requires a singular verb. Hence, the correct answer is option B) was.
