Answered by dualadmire

Option A is the correct and the best answer for this question.

A package of books was delivered today.

The word were cannot be used here as an answer because though the books were greater in number still the package wasn't plural and only singular. As a single package was delivered so, the word was will be used.

For plural words or for quantities greater than any singular quantity the word were is used and not the word was. The word was is only used for singular things and not for plural quantities. If instead of package of books it was books here then in that case, were was to be used.
