Answer : 3. "3"
Explanation :
was will replace are because– when a Plural Noun is placed with a real Singular Subject (one, each, etc.) with of, the Verb will be Singular. Look at the examples given below : One of the boys is ill. Each of the girls is clever. Hence, was shot dead is the right usage.
