A singular subject connected by or/nor necessitates a singular verb.

The right choice is A.

Subjects and verbs must match in number (whether singular or plural). A singular subject requires a singular verb, and likewise for plural subjects.

In cases of compound subjects connected by or/nor, the verb agrees with the subject that is closest to it.

Neither the father nor the children go to the park today.

children (plural) = verb go (plural)

Neither the children nor the father goes to the park today.

father (singular) = verb goes (singular)
