The subject, Investment Capital is singular, so we can reject both A and D.

C) Investment capital in a 401(k) or Roth IRA, both long-term investments, had low liquidity - "had" - past tense, but non-underlined sentence is in present tense. So we can reject it because of tense error.

(E) Investment capital in a 401(k) or Roth IRA, both long-term investments, is low liquidity - Investment Capital .. is low Liquidity doesn't make sense.
"is" is a part of the verb "to be". Example - He is young.

(B) Investment capital in a 401(k) or Roth IRA, both long-term investments, has low liquidity - Correct

Please let me know if there is any fault in my understanding.
Thank you :)

Answer choice (B) is correct as it uses the singular verb "has" to refer to singular noun "investment capital" and correctly uses the verb "to have."

Answer choice (A) is incorrect as it uses the plural verb "have" to refer to singular noun "investment capital."
Answer choice (C) is incorrect as it uses the past tense verb "had" without any indication that the description of the investments is limited to the past.
Answer choices (D) and (E) are incorrect as they use the verb "to be" to describe how investment capital possesses low liquidity.
