A Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. Here, the pronoun and the verb do not agree in number. The pronoun used is plural (both), but the verb is singular (was). To make the sentence correct, ‘was’ should be changed to ‘were’ (plural verb).
