C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as there is an error in this part of the sentence. Here, 'the mother' (subject) is singular and 'are going' (verb) is plural. This sentence has an error of subject-verb agreement as the subject is singular and the verb is plural. The accompanying phrase, together with her son and daughters, does not in any way alter the grammatical relation. Thus, the correct sentence will be: The mother, together with her son and daughters, is going (singular verb) to the movie.
