Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Since the report lacked needed information, it was of no use to them.

Explanation

Option A is grammatically complete and consistent in tense. In B, uncountable “information” requires “was,” not “were.” In C, “really useful” is required instead of “real useful.” In D, the construction requires “would not have been,” not “would not had been.” Hence **A**.
