This particular sentence is in the third person and is in the singular form.
Option A, C and D are wrong as the "s" is missing at the end
Option B is the correct option

The rule states that when in a sentence, there are two different subjects, the verb will agree in person and number with the noun nearest to it. In this case, the nearest subject is in the singular form thus the verb would also be in the singular form.
"was" is a singular verb
Option B is correct.

Option D can only be used if pronouns are present

Option A is the correct answer.

For a delicious salad, fresh ingredients and a large container ______ necessary.

A
is

B
are

was

D
had

Solution
