C Correct answer
Explanation

The error is in part (c) 'have come'. When using 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. 'Rachel' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' not 'have'. The correct sentence is 'Neither Jenelia nor Rachel has come.' Parts (a) and (b) are grammatically correct.
