Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

(1) is incorrect because when two nouns or pronouns are joined by 'as well as' the use of verb has to agree with the first subject and the first subject in the given sentence is plural whereas option (1) depicts a singular verb. (2) and (3) are incorrect because both of them are modal auxiliaries and as such they can be used only helping verbs and they must have a main verb which is not there in the given sentence.
