B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has error. 'The flock of birds' is always taken as a singular subject and thus, requires a singular verb (is), and not a plural verb (are). The correct sentence would be: The flock of birds is migrating to the northern hemisphere.
