The correct past tense of "see" is "saw", but in this case, we need to use the passive voice and the past participle form "seen". This means that the correct option is "were not seen". Option B is incorrect because "owls" is a plural noun, and "was" is the singular form of "to be". Option C is grammatically incorrect because "saw" is the past tense of "see" and cannot be used with "not".
