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.

I think the question should be choose the correct sentence.

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.

@Santhosh busied is the simple past and past participle form of 'busy'.

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

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

Yes I agree with @Salman where future tense was used with by using time clause like they soon became busy.

There is not such 'busied' word exist. Busy is not a verb.

"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.
