Answer:
The subject in these options is 'Ram and Sita'. The subject refers to two people, hence it is plural.
The verb must agree with the subject in person and number. (Called the subject-verb agreement)
When the subject is singular, the verb must be singular. When the subject is plural, the verb must be plural.
In option D, 'are' is a plural verb, that agrees with the plural subject 'Ram and Sita'. Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Plays' is in the third person singular form. It refers to a subject that is singular, whereas here it is plural.
Option B: 'Has' in 'has played' is singular. Its plural form is 'have', which is not present here.
Option C: Similarly, 'was' in 'was playing' is also singular. (The plural form is 'were'.)
These sentences are incorrect, as the verbs do not agree with the plural subject in each case.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
