a. we; predicate nominative
b. us; predicate nominative
c. we; subject
d. us; subject

The correct answer is letter (B) us; predicate nominative. At first they wouldn't admit to the deed, but later they said, "The ones who did it are 'us'." Predicate Nominative is a pronoun or noun that follows right after a linking verb. It serves as a different way of naming the subject but at that moment, it only follows the verb, and renames and describes the subject.
