The sentence is referring to a past action that was in progress, so it requires the past continuous tense "were telling." Choice A is incorrect because it uses the present participle "telling" instead of the past participle "were telling." Choice C is incorrect because it uses the base form "tell" instead of the past continuous tense "were telling."
