«El presidente del jurado anunció que el premio _____ concedido por unanimidad».

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. había sido

Analysis: Reported speech in past tense regarding a completed prior action takes pluperfect indicative ('había sido concedido'). Answer: había sido. Why not the others: 'ha' lacks participle 'sido'; 'hubiera' is subjunctive; 'haya sido' is present perfect subjunctive.
