C looks the best among the remaining

'the scorpions has a cluster of nerve cells in its'
but why do we use a singular 'has' instead of a plural 'have' since 'scorpions' is plural.

Is this option posted correctly???

Also worth to be noted that Scorpion is a type of Arachnids. So Scorpion is compared with his family of other Arachnids to distinguish Scorpion with rest of its family.
