Simple past tense is used to indicate an action that happened/occurred sometime in the past. The given sentence gives information about the state of George in last week, i.e. past. The syntax of the simple past tense is : verb in the second form. Helping verb acts as the main verb if there is no main verb in the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' 'wasn't'.
The other three options are in the present tense. So, they are incorrect.
