- AEither my brothers
- Bor my friend
- Care coming to receive me at the airport.
- DNo error.
Explanation
With the correlative "either…or", the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it — here the singular "my friend". The plural "are" therefore violates subject-verb agreement; it should be "is coming to receive me". Parts (a) and (b) are correctly constructed. The error is in part (c).
