Correct Answer: Bushfire have created havoc
Solution : The first option is correct.
In this part of the sentence, bushfire is a singular noun, but have is a plural verb, so they don't agree in number.
According to the subject-verb agreement, if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. Conversely, if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular.
Therefore, the correct sentence will be: Bushfires have created havoc and exacerbated the conditions of animals in the forest.
