From the sentence, we can infer that it is in the simple past tense because of the words 'wanted' and 'yesterday'. There are no words or phrases that include 'have/had' to indicate the past perfect or past continuous tenses.
The only option in the simple past tense is option D. Option A is also in the simple past tense, but is incorrect because 'was' is not used for second person singular 'you'.
