When there is 'neither..nor' construction, the verb number agrees with the number of the subject closest to it. Here, the subject closest to the verb is 'recent critics' which is plural in nature, therefore, we need a plural verb to agree with the plural subject 'recent critics'. That makes option C the correct option as it indicates the error in the sentence. The rest of the sentence is correct.
