    Solution

    "Left no stone unturned" means to do everything possible to ensure success or completion. It fits the sentence as it implies the committee members did everything they could to prepare. "Spilled the beans" refers to revealing a secret, and "Made a mountain out of a molehill" means exaggerating a minor issue, neither of which make sense in this context.
