Correct Answer: are


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The verb "are" agrees with the plural subject "requirements". In English grammar, proper subject-verb agreement ensures that the verb form aligns with the number (singular or plural) of the subject, and in this case, "are" is the correct plural form. The sentence is constructed in the present tense, indicating a general truth or condition.
