Default I'm told

--_____ that the sports meet might be put off.
--Yes, it all depends on the weather.
A. I was told B. I've been told C. I'm told D. I've told
The given answer is B.

I should think all the first three answers are all right. Am I right? What would be the first choice of native English speakers?

Could I ask native English teachers to help me please? Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, David L.

It comes from a test paper set by a certain Chinese teacher of English.
