The answer is the last sentence, "The team members yells at one another to keep their momentum going during half-time." The correct subject-verb agreement is "members yell." Hope it helps!

The last option shows incorrect use of subject verb- agreement. Team members is a plural subject and it requires a verb used for a plural subjec, third person plural to be exact.Instead it has yells , which is used correctly for third person singular subjects.The correct verb subject structure should be The team members yell at..
