IMO its a C.

Issues with the question - Idiom and missing verb.

I guess its Idiomatic to say "Synchronize with" and Movements _____ synchronized with. Blank = are

I agree with Haaress on this one; I also think the answer is C. "Movements" is plural, so both B and D can be eliminated due to the singular verb "is." "Movements of" is idiomatic, as is "synchronized with," and those two issue allow us to eliminate A and E.
