Well all these subjects are singular, and A is the only answer that contains a singular verb. And yeah, sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i honestly dont know the answer to this one

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

I don't have much evidence to which one is right, so you're just gonna have to pick the one that sounds right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks for your help!

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Oh wait. I have something. The price must be referred to singularly, which should be the verb is, rather than are. So B is out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
