Correct Answer: were waiting
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation : The original sentence uses the past continuous tense "were waiting," which is appropriate for describing an ongoing action in the past that was interrupted by another event (the accident). The past continuous tense is formed with the past tense of the verb "to be" (were) and the present participle of the main verb (waiting).
So, the correct sentence would be: They were waiting for the bus when the accident happened.
