I managed to eliminate and come down to b and e.
Why will we choose impair and not impairs considering air pollution is singular entity

Bunuel,
Could you correct the answer choice E? I eliminated E for exactly the reason mentioned by Johnny99.
Thanks!

There's an error in copying the question from the source. Option E includes "such FARM products as" and not just "such products as". This is an important point, as one might otherwise eliminate "E" for the deletion of an essential part of the sentence.

Why will we choose impair and not impairs considering air pollution is singular entity

Anytime we have a helping verb, such as "may," it changes the form of the main verb. For example:

    "Tim cooks dinner for his children every night, but only after they perform Les Miserables in its entirety."

Simple case here. "Tim" is singular, and the main verb, "cooks" is also singular. But watch what happens when we toss in a helping verb:

    "Tim may cook dinner for his children..."

"Tim" is still singular, but because "cook" is paired with the helping verb "may" it takes a different form.

Same issue in (E): "Indoor air pollution may also impair."

Takeaway: when assessing subject-verb agreement, don't ignore helping verbs!

I hope that helps!
