The error basically has the singular vs plural issue. If the subject is singular, then the verb must be singular. If the subject is plural, then the verb must be plural.
POE:
A) each------were- Subject is singular and verb is plural- Eliminate
B)Each----- was- Correct- So hold.
C)"Company X, Company Y, and Company Z . . . were"- Correct usage but "Each of them being competitors." - Awkward- Eliminate.
D)"Company X, Company Y, and Company Z . . . was"- Incorrect.
E) Changes the subject and verb- Competitors . . . was each-Also this is not a complete sentence- Eliminate.
