OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

A sentence that has a verb that agrees with its subject will have a plural subject with a plural verb, and a singular subject with a singular verb. A singular verb will have an 's' on the end of it (generally), but a plural verb will not (also generally). Also, a singular noun will NOT have an 's' on the end (generally), but a plural noun will.

I would say B. There are grammar errors in the other choices and b flows best
