The phrase which does not agree with the verb in the sentence above is A. jacket and tie.
This option includes two elements (a jacket and a tie), which means that it is plural, which also means that it needs a plural verb. The verb "was" in the sentence above agrees with B, C, and D, because they are all singular nouns, as is the verb in the sentence.
