Any ideas ?

I think A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
All you gotta do is find which one fits best in the sentence.
OpenStudy (conqueror):
A is not correct, because the sentence is not past tense, and is not singular.

Yeah. C sounds the most correct.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Just fit it into the sentence, then read the sentence, and if it doesn't sound wrong, it's correct.

It is C, because the sentence is plural and present tense.
