Solution

The correct option is C is
Option C "is" is the correct answer because although there are many people in the crowd, there is only one collective body and that is the crowd. According to the rules of subject-verb agreement, a collective noun that functions as a single unit take a singular verb.
As Crowd is a singular noun , using "are" would be inappropriate so Option A is ruled out.
Option B and D are in no relevance to the situation and hence are ruled out.
