A Correct answer
Explanation

In the construction 'It is you who...' the verb must agree with the subject 'you'. The subject-verb agreement rule requires 'you are'. Even though 'you' can be singular or plural, it always takes 'are' in present tense. Options B, C, and D show incorrect subject-verb agreement with 'you'.
