Answer:
They could sing quite well when they were small.
Explanation:
The rest of the sentence suggests that the content is in the past tense, the creatures in question were able to sing well when they 'were' small. The usage of 'were' suggests that the creatures are referred to in the past tense and/or there are numerous objects in question. Since the rest of the options already confirm that the object is in the plural, and in the past tense, we thus look for the option that coalesces well with the rest of the sentence.
Since "can they" and "could they" would make an interrogative sentence, and the sentence ends in a full stop, those options are dismissed. Of the rest of the options," they could" is the only one that is grammatically correct with the rest of the sentence. Thus "they could" is the correct option.
