Opening modifier is calling for the subject: graveteiro

A group is singular si requires INCLUDES

And we also need IS not ARE

Finally, D and E are sentence fragments because of , which belongs to the ovenbird family,


I will go with B as well


A. graveteiro belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and that are
B. graveteiro belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and is
C. graveteiro belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that include more than 230 species and is
D. graveteiro, which belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and that are
E. graveteiro, which belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and is

Yes should be B

Group is a singular ... should be using the verb "is"
