The correct answer would be option D. The sentence above should be rewritten to correct the subject verb agreement error in this way: Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, invites dancers to weekly performance battles. The subject is "Tommy" which is singular. Therefore, the verb used should also be in the singular form.
