This is basically Pronoun Number Agreement problem rather than a Subject Verb Problem.

Each invoice and gate pass must have "PAID" stamped over their number
A) Each invoice and gate pass must have "PAID" stamped over their number - Their does not match in number with EACH. INCORRECT
B) Every one of the invoices and gate passes must have "PAID" stamped over their number- Their does not match in number with EVERY. INCORRECT
C) Each invoice and gate pass must have "PAID" stamped over its number - ITS match in number with EACH. CORRECT
D) All invoices and gate passes must have "PAID" stamped over its number - ITS does not match in number with ALL. INCORRECT
E) Every invoice and each gate pass must have "PAID" stamped over their number. - Their does not match in number with EVERY. INCORRECT

Hope the detailed explanation will help many.
