Since the sentence talks about an event that began in the past and continues to present, we need present perfect tense.
only option B and C fit in this criteria.
here the subject is many natural calamities, which is plural. hence we need a plural verb have.
Only option C fits in.
I have a doubt here. request experts reply on this.
According to ttp, Many, several, few and both takes plural verb. But in tests, there was one question in which "Many a person" was considered singular.
So is these four words also behaves like SANAMM pronoun, in which the verb depends on what follows, or these four are always plural?
