"Ce sont" (plural version of "c'est") is used if it is followed by a plural noun ("ce sont des oiseaux"); "ils/elles sont" if there isn't any noun following, just an adjective (like in this exercise).
Sometimes even if there is no noun, we do use "c'est", mostly in an exclamation: "c'est beau !" (instead of "il est beau !")
