Answer:

A. was

Read Explanation:

"A crowd of people" is considered a singular collective noun. "People" ബഹുവചനമാണെങ്കിലും, അത് "a crowd" എന്ന collective noun ൻ്റെ ഭാഗമാകുമ്പോൾ, അതിനെ ഒരൊറ്റ യൂണിറ്റായി (single unit) കണക്കാക്കുന്നു. Therefore, we use the singular verb "was" to match the singular subject "a crowd."
