Answer:

The yolk of the egg is white.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "is" makes the most sense here, with "are" the sentence doesn't go well, and is grammatically incorrect, if it were to be "are" then the sentence would have been "The yolks of eggs are white"

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The yolk of the egg is white.

is implies that there is only one. are implies that there are more than one.

Since we're talking about one egg white, then the correct term = is
