Solution

The correct option is A is
In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject-verb agreement. The rule states that some nouns which are plural in form, but singular in meaning, take a singular verb.
"is" is the correct answer, it is a singular verb
are and were are plural, thus they are wrong
have is also wrong
Option A is correct.
