Solution
The correct option is A has
The subject of the sentence, the United States, is a singular identity. Thus, the verb will be in singular form. Since the tense is in simple present, the most suitable replacement for the verb in the question is Option A, has. Options B and C have different forms of the verb which are not in agreement with the subject. Hence, options B,C and D are all incorrect.
