B. extinction; its numbers are now five times more than
C. extinction, their numbers now fivefold what they were
D. extinction, now with fivefold the numbers they had

Greatly influenced by the Protested missionary Samuel Kirkland, the Oneida was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided with the colonists during the American Revolution.
A.          was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided
B.          was alone of the five-nation Iroquois League when they sided
C.          alone among the five-nation Iroquois League sided
D.        were the only ones out of the five nations of Iroquois League in siding
E.          only of the five-nation Iroquois League had sided

Two Possibilities:
1) For somebody who doesn't know about Oneida would take it as a league/ some association/nation and hence singular. In that case, 'was' would be correct and 'who' would be incorrect.

2) If I know that "the Oneida" refers to an entire tribe / group / race and hence plural, then 'was' would be incorrect and 'who' would be correct.

So in both the cases option 'A' would be wrong.

why onida singular or plural(as interpreted) makes answer choicea wrong
