Correct option is B
Option (b) contains an error.
Explanation: The verb "is" is incorrectly used for a plural subject "Earth's deserts." The correct verb form should be "are" to match the plural subject "deserts."
Grammatical rule used: Subject-verb agreement: Plural subjects require plural verbs, and singular subjects require singular verbs.

is barking.
Correct: The dogs
