A. Captures would be used for a singular subject, "Photography captures" would be correct. "Video and photography captures" wold not. It would be capture. So A is not the answer

C is also very similar to A, and is also incorrect. It is either B or D. Which do you think it is??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When using or or nor you just go with the verb that agrees with the part of the compound subject closest to the verb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope, try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is correct
