Answer»

In the given SENTENCES, the sentence REFERS to a specific time in the past, viz, 'at that time'.

So, the corresponding tense MUST also reflect this. We need to USE past PERFECT tense to make the sentence meaningful.

The correct form, then becomes 'had been', given by 5. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option 5.
