The sentence is in the passive voice and requires the use of the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive form of "be" is "be" for all subjects, so "be" is the best choice. "Was" is incorrect because it is the indicative form and "is" is incorrect because it is also indicative and does not indicate a change in status.
