Correct Answer: who were shouting
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The correct verb should be "was" instead of "were" to match the singular subject "Ravi". The structure of the sentence consists of "the introductory clause", a relative pronoun clause referring to "Ravi", and a prepositional phrase indicating the time.
So, the correct sentence should be: "It was Ravi, not his friends, who was shouting at late hours last night."
