Reason for writing are here as answer :-

➮ Subject and verb must agree with/in number.

➮ This implies that if subject is in singular then verb must also be singular.

➮ If subject is plural then verb must be also.

➮ Here , horse and carriage is => plural.

And in the option we have, (is/are).

➮ Is is used when subject is singular. But here subject is plural , therefore we would use are.
