The correct answer is C. Clowning, which originated at birthday parties, has transformed the lives of many kids.

Explanation:

In grammar, a subject-verb agreement error occurs when the subject that is the agent that performs the action and the verb that is the main action of a sentence does not agree in number which means a singular subject is combined with a plural verb form or vice-versa. In the case of the sentence "Clowning, which originated at birthday parties, have transformed the lives of many kids" this contains a subject-verb agreement error because the subject "clowning" is singular but the verb from "have transformed" is plural and therefore the verb form needs to be changed to "has transformed" which is used with singular nouns. This means the sentence that corrects the subject-verb agreement error is "Clowning, which originated at birthday parties, has transformed the lives of many kids" as this makes the verb singular but also preserves the original form of the sentence.
