B Correct answer
Explanation

The government is a collective noun. When collective nouns refer to a single unit or entity, they take a singular verb. Here, 'the government' is acting as one unified body determined to implement the plan, so 'is' (singular) is correct. If the emphasis were on individual members acting separately, 'are' could be used.
