Correct Answer: took


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The original sentence has a subject-verb agreement error. "Members" is a plural noun, so the correct verb form should be "took" to match the plural subject. "Was took" is incorrect; the past tense verb "took" should be used to maintain proper grammar.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The committee members took a unanimous decision that they would invest in startups.
