Answer:

C. One of the cars has lost its bumper.

Explanation:

The subject-verb agreement is a rule according to which the subject and predicate must agree in number. This means that a singular subject takes a singular verb, and the opposite - a plural subject takes a plural verb.

The complete subject in the given sentence is<em> </em><em>one of the cars. </em><em>Cars</em> is a plural noun, but it's preceded by the phrase <em>one of the</em>, which makes the subject singular. That's why the predicate must contain a singular verb, as well. The form <em>have lost</em> is incorrect, because that's a plural form. The correct option is<em> has lost</em>.

There is another mistake. The phrase <em>it's bumper</em> is incorrect because <em>it's</em> is a contraction of the phrase <em>it is</em>, and we need the possessive pronoun <em>its</em> (<em>the car has lost </em><u><em>its bumper = the car's bumper</em></u>).

That's why the correct option is C.
