C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. The list of verbs in the sentence contains two singular simple past tense verbs ('ate' and 'drank') and one singular past progressive verb ('was singing'). The verbs should all match. The correct sentence should replace the past progressive form (was singing) with the simple past tense (sang). The correct sentence would be: “At the function, he ate chicken, drank whisky and sang a romantic song”.
