Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. was

The correct answer is B. was.
A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a word that describes or identifies it.
"Was" links the subject (Chand) to his identity (chairman).
Unlike action verbs, linking verbs do not show a physical movement.
Chand (C) is the subject (noun), and chairman (A) is the subject complement
