"Tension erupted in the room when it was revealed that the villain knew that the spy withheld information."

Reason: It corrects the ungrammatical "the spy withholding information" and keeps consistent past tense. (A slightly more natural alternative would be "the spy had been withholding information," but the fourth option is the best of the given choices.)
