Explanation
'Transpired' means to come to be known, to be revealed, or to emerge (of a secret or unknown fact). In the sentence, no one knew what happened or came to light during the meeting. Among the options, 'emerged' (A) is nearest in meaning, capturing the sense of becoming known. 'Exchanged' and 'was spoken' are narrower, while 'merged' means combined. Hence option A is correct. Cross-checked with Oswaal CDS Yearwise Solved Papers, which defines transpired as '(of a secret or something unknown) come to be known; to be revealed'.
