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.

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

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

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

Whats wrong in using "to meet the storm"?

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

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

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.
