Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. are arriving.

  • Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural. 
  • The subject of the given statement is "Students" which is plural hence, we need to use a plural verb here.
  • "Has/have + past participle" is the correct verb phrase while "Be + present participle" is the correct one.

The chosen option follows the given rules hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-
