According to me, Option A is correct answer.

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.

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.

Basically facing means to be ready to suffer or to answer.

Crew is already a group of people. Then why they have used crews?

Rajeev srivastava said:   7 years ago
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.

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 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.
