Solution
In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. A general rule is present, which states that there is usage of a plural verb with two or more subjects when they are connected by "and". In this sentence the two subjects are "the poet" and "the novelist". Thus, we would be using a plural verb.
"Is" is a singular verb.
"Are" is a plural verb. It is the correct answer.
"Have" and "has" are root verbs that are used alongside pronouns. Both of them are used for present tense. They are the wrong choices
Option B is correct
