正解: C) is
The subject is 'Neither of the proposals'. 'Neither' takes a singular verb, so the singular 'is' is correct. This item tempts you toward 'are' because of the nearby plural noun 'proposals'. 'Were' and 'have been' agree with a plural subject. Each, every, either, and neither are all treated as singular — worth keeping in mind.
