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

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

No, as the group is a singular collective noun, so were should be replaced with was.

I think the correct answer should be B because group appointed is a past participles which is a passive form.
And in passive form it should have been written like group being appointed.
Also were should be replaced by was.
