Answer: A. A cat meows at the birds in the tree. As a general rule, the verb must agree with the subject's number. If the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. In option A, the subject "cat" is singular which takes singular verb "meows".
