This has to do with Present Tense or Imperfect (Past) and the subject-verb ending.
a. we have, do have, are having
b. they have, do have, are having
c. they had, used to have, were having
d. we had, used to have, were having
And you choose?

i'm confused =[
Why are you confused? Look at the English of the choices I gave you. It has to be d. Can you figure it out now?

To answer this question in Spanish, you need to conjugate the verb "to have" (tener) in the past tense according to the subject pronoun "you" in plural form (vosotros/vosotras). Since the question asks about the age of "Uds." (you plural), the correct answer is "teníais" (you all had).
Therefore, the correct option to complete the sentence would be:
c. teníamos
So the complete sentence would be:
"Cuando cantaban en el corro, ¿cuántos años tenían Uds.?" "Teníamos doce años." (When you sang in chorus, how old were you? We were 12 years old.)
