Solution
Verified by Toppr

Option B is the correct answer because ‘were’ is the past tense of are and is used as a second person form of was.
Option A is incorrect because ‘are’ is used in the present tense.
Option C is incorrect because ‘What have you done’ means what happened now, which is totally incorrect because the question asks what was happening this time yesterday.
Option D is incorrect because although ‘did you do’ is the past tense, since they’re talking about ‘this’ time yesterday , doing is correct as it shows an ongoing action, in the past.
