C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. While making a sentence, it should be ensured that the verb in the sentence should agree with the true subject and not with the intervening plural object of a preposition or any other intervening plural. In this sentence, the true subject is 'packet' and not 'California almonds'. 'Almonds' is the object of preposition 'of'. Thus, the correct sentence should have 'is' instead of 'are'.
