Answer: The sentence that has correct subject-verb agreement is B. Of the two product​ lines, which brings us the most​ profits?

Explanation: When the speaker asks the question, he is making reference to only one of the product lines (the most profitable) and not to both of them. Therefore, a singular verb must be used after "which". As B. is the only option that includes a singular verb ("brings"), B. is the correct answer. In contrast, A., C. and D. present plural verbs ("have brought", "bring" and "have been bringing" respectively).
