Answer: D) Many​ musicians, including unlikely candidates such as Elvis​ Presley, has been influenced by gospel music.

Explanation: Subject-verb agreement means the subject and verb must have the same number (both singular or both plural). From the given options, the sentence that has a problem in subject-verb agreement, is the corresponding to option D: Many​ musicians, including unlikely candidates such as Elvis​ Presley, has been influenced by gospel music, because the subject is "many musicians" (plural subject) and the verb is "has" (singular subject), it should be "have."
