D is correct because girls is plural, so the verb would have to be eat and not eats

Answer:

Correct answer is letter D!

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first option, the subject (the girl) does not match with the verb (not conjugated or not done properly) because of the letter "s" in simple present. In the second option, the subject is singular (the girl) but the possessive adjective is plural (their). Letter C gives a plural subject (the girls) but the verb is in singular (eats) and also the noun (lunches) should be in singular. Option E gives a plural subject (the girls) but the verb and the possessive adjective are in singular. The correct option is letter D, because the subject and verb are used correctly, such as the proper noun and possessive adjective.
