Solution

The correct option is D Was
The sentence mentions that the event or incident happened 'that night' which means it is in the past. So, we can eliminate options B) and C). This leaves the options A) and D). For the word 'everyone', we need to use a singular verb form. Therefore, the correct answer is option D) was.
