D Correct answer
Explanation

(1) and (2) are incorrect because if the words “a pair” is made the head word with a noun, which can be split up into two, a singular verb is used, whereas (1) and (2) are both plural verbs. (3) is incorrect because if 'has' is used, then the meaning of the sentence changes and this change goes against the meaning and sense of the given sentence.
