B Correct answer
Explanation

With 'along with', the verb agrees with the first subject only. 'The Principal' is singular, so the verb should be 'was invited', not 'were invited'. Phrases like 'along with', 'together with', 'as well as', or 'accompanied by' don't create compound subjects; only 'and' does. The grammatical subject is Principal (singular), so the verb must be singular.
