C Correct answer
Explanation

(3) is grammatically the most correct option. (1) is incorrect because plural verbs are needed for the sentence. (2) is incorrect because (feels) is a singular verb and does not agree with the subjects joined by ‘and’. (4) and (5) are incorrect because ‘feels’ is a singular verb which won’t agree with the two subjects joined by ‘and’.
