Solution

The correct option is B was
The option 'was' completes the sentence in reported speech. While converting a sentence in direct speech in the present continuous tense to reported speech, the tense changes to past continuous. Sentences in reported speech that are in the past continuous tense follow the structure: subject + was/were + present participle form of verb.
