C or D?

So, for these verbs, which one matches the subject? Example: Obviously, this one doesn't because THEY is a plural subject, but IS is a singular being verb. They is not gonna get away. I ain't talkin bad grammah! But, this one does: They are not going to get away. That person is REALLY talking bad grammar. So, based off of this info, what do you think it is? Hint: "Everything" is a singular pronoun.
