Sentence Correction

The doctrine applies in Canada, where there is a federal law and a provincial law that are each valid and consistent.

1)is a federal law and a provincial law that are each valid and consistent
2)are a federal law and a provincial law that are each valid and consistent
3)are a federal law and a provincial law both of which are each valid and consistent
4)is a federal law and a provincial law both of which are each valid and consistent
5)is a federal law and a provincial law that is each valid and consistent

IMO B

The confusion here is the word 'each'.

If "each" were the subject of the clause, then the verb would be singular.

But in this case 'each' comes after the subjects so the subjects are still in plural form.

its B
although questions looks of poor quality

i choose A, and i know the OA is B.

but, how the heck does there are a make any sense at all? even though the and makes them plural, if B were to be correct, i feel the a need to go.

As you all have said the official answer is B.. Even I agree that are in the second part of the sentence "that are each" is fine.. But I am not pretty convinced with the are in "are a federal law and provincial law"..

I does not seem here that the subject of the first are is plural "federal law and provincial law"..
