C Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence 'Harpreet _____ le premier dans la course' means 'Harpreet ____ first in the race'. Since Harpreet is a singular third-person subject, the verb must be 'était' (was - imperfect tense of être). 'Étaient' is plural, 'étais' is first-person singular, and 'avais' is first-person singular of avoir - all grammatically incorrect.
