Answer : Option D
Explanation :
The verb 'were' in past tense, makes it imperative that we use (i.e) 'were refusing' to make it grammatically correct. When the correlative conjunction 'either ... or' is used, the words that are linked by the conjunctions must be similar. '... either confirm or deny'.
