The correct option is the one that should not be included in a report.
The date, place and time are all included in a report. Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
This leaves option A. It states that the name of people affected by the event should be included. But, the option is a bit vague. There must be several people, or hardly a couple. The names are not the focus of the report, but the event. Hence the factor relevant to the event - date, place, time are to be included, and not the names of people.
So, option A is the correct option.
