Which sentence demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement?

A The list of required readings, including several challenging novels, are available online.
B Neither the students nor the professor were prepared for the surprise exam.
C Every one of the participants has completed the survey.
D A large number of studies about the phenomenon has been published.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

In option C, 'Every one' is singular, so the singular verb 'has completed' is correct. In A, 'list' is singular, requiring 'is'. In B, 'professor' (closer subject) is singular, requiring 'was'. In D, 'number' in 'a number of' is plural, requiring 'have been published'.
