Why not option B) "that the groups appointed for investigating the case"?

Shouldn't it also be "most of the people in the meeting" and "group was incompetent'? Please tell me.

It should be AT THE MEETING not IN THE MEETING as the meaning of the sentence was a group of people was at a particular place which means meeting, So it should be AT THE MEETING.
And WAS NOT COMPETENT is correct word as they are mentioning it as GROUP and not people or persons, so GROUP here is a singular entity, SO WAS used instead of WERE.
