Were is used for a particular person (like "if I were") so was is correct here.

Group is singular. So 'was' is correct.

Option A is the appropriate answer.

Can anyone please explain to me why was used?

"at" refers to an exact situation, place. etc, whereas "in" doesn't, so at is correct.

Not sure about "in" or "at" meeting? Please tell me the difference.

Yes. 'Was' is the correct answer. Group is a single entity.

I agree that group is a single entity and so the answer is was.
But why not "is". It is not mentioned/clear that the case is closed. It may be still in operation.
Also not sure about "in" or "at" meeting? Difference?
