C Correct answer
Explanation

Compound subjects like 'Joe and I' are treated as plural (equivalent to 'we'), so they require plural verbs. 'Am' is singular (for 'I'), 'is' is singular (for 'he/she/it'), and 'are' is plural (for 'we/you/they'). Since 'Joe and I' equals 'we', 'are' is the correct choice.
