• B. are
• C. was
• D. were

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

are

A singular subject takes a singular verb, while a plural subject takes a plural verb.

Option B is the correct answer because in the given sentence, The Himalayas takes a plural verb as a vast range of mountains is being imagined and the sentence is in present tense. Whereas, Option A, C and D is incorrect because the given sentence needs a change and the verb which replaces "is" can neither be the past form of plural verb nor any singular verb.
