Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: has

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) has šŸ“š Explanation: In English grammar, the pronoun 'Each' is always considered singular and requires a singular verb regardless of the plural noun ('students') that follows it. Therefore, 'has' must be used instead of 'have' to maintain proper subject-verb agreement. This is a very common grammatical trap in competitive examinations.
