Tip: If it has two verbs "was singing" or "were walking" it's probably imparfait.
I don't want to do your homework for you but remember, imparfait is for when things happened continually in the past or was interrupted. Passé composé is for when something happened once or when it interrupted an action.
I agree with Victoria, except for the last one--I would put B.
