You can discount C and D instantly: The past participle 'belonged' does not go with 'be' or 'was'. Try simplifying the sentence down to 'it was belonged' or 'it be belonged' reveals that neither sentence makes sense.
That leaves you with A or B to make viable English sentences.
A would only occur if the necklace was to be a gift or if some other situation was explained. This option does not make sense without additional contextual knowledge.
That leaves B. B makes the most sense because the tenses in the sentence all agree in the past.
