To meet is not an appropriate word here.
To face is correct, example:'' the task has to be completed in a given time in order to meet the requirements''.
Facing means to come across some difficulties or to face any kind of situations.
Example: Facing the consequences in life.

Crews is the plural of crew according to word hippo and busied is the past form of busy, rarely used, so c is the current answer as it provides a better alternative that is fairly accepted and looks right.

"Crews" is a plural of crew. So Crews were is correct.
And Busied is also the past of busy word so that is also correct.
Meet is what I think not suitable with storm so the answer is right I believe.

Here the crew should be used in the place of crews but you can use crews when the crew is used for a different board.
Eg: Crews are available on three board or ships.

Hey there is crews not crew,
Meet is suitable for living and face is more suitable than meet because they are going to face something hard on their way.
Meet is suitable for living and face is more suitable than meet because they are going to face something hard on their way.

The crew was on board, and it soon busied itself in preparing to face the storm.
Shouldn't it be like this? Anyone, clarify this to me.

Crew is a collective noun like team, staff etc. It is singular.
Crews refer to more than one crew so I guess "the crews" is legible.

It would be better if the sentence had crew instead of crews, because it is no where mentioned that way, unnecessary confusion.

What about "The crew were on board, and they soon made themselves busy in preparing to meet/face the storm"? Please tell me.

The crew were on board, they soon became busy in preparing to meet/face the storm. I think this is the perfect sentence.
