C and E both look gramatically correct to me. Will go with E for preserving the meaning. Kudos Please... If my post helped.

Could someone give the correct answer plz? Does the topic relate with "claim"?
For me,
"Are" is 100% that Cats = Best pets
"Make" is less than 100% that Cats = Best pets
Thanks in advance!

Choose E.
E. make the best pets - Clearly convey the meaning.
C. are the best pets - Subjunctive form used, thus avoid are.
@kingb- pls provide OA & OE
Thanks!!

I will go with tunyturtle and embrace C. When you claim something, you are vociferous about, cocksure about it. B declares that Cats are the best and there is no second word about it. On the contrary, when something makes something, there is somewhere a tinge of inabsoluteness. Like we say, although he is not the best of the runners, he somehow made it to the post. Or like we say, Bill wasn’t the best of the people, but somehow made the grade solely by luck. So, meaning wise, C is indeed the best one.
