"Were" is wrong. The correct verb should be the one that modifies the subject "A wide range" which is singular. Therefore, the answer must be either was or is. Since the sentence is in the past, "was" should be the correct answer and not "were"

The correct answer is:
**B. were**
The sentence should read: "A wide range of options **were** made available to the political parties during the recently concluded elections."
"A wide range of options" is treated as a plural subject, so the plural verb "were" is appropriate.

It's 'were'
Whenever we use A number of or something like A wide range of,it takes plural
But,using 'the' to start it takes singular
