### **Explanation (English):**  

The word "each" is considered singular, so it should be followed by a singular verb. Therefore, "was" is the correct form, making **Option A** the right choice.


- **Option A** is correct: "was" agrees with the singular subject "each."

- **Option B** is incorrect: "were being" is not appropriate since "each" requires a singular verb.

- **Option C** is incorrect: "were" does not agree with the singular subject "each book."

- **Option D** is incorrect: The original sentence contains a verb agreement error.

### **Explanation (Hindi):**  

शब्द "each" को एकवचन माना जाता है, इसलिए इसके बाद एकवचन क्रिया का उपयोग किया जाना चाहिए। इसलिए, "was" सही रूप है, जिससे **विकल्प A** सही विकल्प बनता है।


- **विकल्प A** सही है: "was" एकवचन विषय "each" के साथ मेल खाता है।

- **विकल्प B** गलत है: "were being" उचित नहीं है क्योंकि "each" के लिए एकवचन क्रिया की आवश्यकता होती है।

- **विकल्प C** गलत है: "were" एकवचन विषय "each book" के साथ मेल नहीं खाता।

- **विकल्प D** गलत है: मूल वाक्य में क्रिया संबंधी त्रुटि है।

**Example:**

- **Correct:** *Each of the books was on sale last weekend.*  

- **सही:** *पिछले सप्ताहांत में प्रत्येक किताब बिक्री पर थी।*
