D Correct answer
Explanation

Neither/nor requires a singular verb when referring to singular subjects. Option A incorrectly uses 'or' instead of 'nor'. Option B incorrectly mixes 'either' with 'nor' (should be either/or). Option C incorrectly uses 'has' with 'both...and' (should be 'have' for plural). Option D correctly uses 'neither Ram nor Shyam has' with singular verb 'has' for two singular subjects joined by nor.
