Detailed Solution

When a verb's subject (in a sentence) also performs the action in the verb, the verb is said to be in the Active Voice. When the verb's subject (in the sentence) receives the action named in the verb, the verb is said to be in the Passive voice.
According to the rule on changing active voice into passive, if a sentence is in past continuous tense (Helping verb "was/were") to convert into passive given sentence must change into past continuous tense (helping verb was/were + being). Basketball is a singular subject. Hence "was" helping verb is used. Therefore, option B is correct.
