In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. The rule states that when the noun is in singular form, the verb should also be in the singular form. In this case, the noun is in the singular form and also in the past tense. Thus, the verb should be in past tense and also singular by nature, 
"are" is plural verb in present tense. 
"was" is singular verb in past tense. It is the correct answer
"aren't" means are not. It is the wrong choice
"were" is used as a plural verb in past tense..
Option C is correct.
