OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The Haka war dance is one of the traditions that has been preserved by the Maori people until today, probably because the players of New Zealand's rugby team perform it before every international game.
A. has been preserved by the Maori people until today, probably because the players of New Zealand's rugby team perform it before every international game
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The relative clause that has been preserved by the Maori people until today describes the noun that appears immediately before it, namely, traditions. Since traditions follows the words one of the and is plural, the verb that follows it also needs to be plural. However, has is singular.
What helps us identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: one of the + plural noun + who/which/that
Whenever you see this Stop Sign, make sure that the following verb is plural.
B. have been preserved by the Maori people until today, probably because the players of New Zealand's rugby team performs it before every international game
Although this answer choice corrects the original Relative Clause error by using the plural verb have, it is grammatically incorrect.
The phrase players of New Zealand's rugby team is an X of Y subject. In such cases, the verb should agree with X (players), which is plural. However, the verb performs is singular.
What helps us identify this question as a Subject Verb Agreement question as well as identify this mistake is the following Stop Sign: The subject is in the form of X of Y
