Answer 1

The correct option is C C

A tense is a form of verb which provides more information about the verb (timing, completion, progress, etc.). Option C)C is correct as the subject is singular ( an activity- alcohol consumption) and 'has' is used as a helping verb for singular subjects. The other options are wrong as the underlined words except 'have' are appropriately used in the given sentence. The correct answer is C)C.
