Explanation:

The correct answer is 'were fined.'
In the underlined segment, the use of the pronoun 'them' is superfluous or not required. The given sentence is talking about the pilgrims who were fined for littering around the shrine.
A sentence follows Subject (The pilgrims) + Verb (were fined) + Object (one thousand rupees each for littering around the shrine) word order.
The subject-verb agreement of the plural subject "The pilgrims" with the plural verb 'were' is correct.
Therefore, the pronoun 'them' should be removed from the sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
