Correct Answer: are visiting


Solution : The most appropriate choice is the fourth option.

The original sentence is incorrect as per the subject-verb agreement. Since "My friend Meera and her mother" is a compound subject involving more than one person, the verb should also be in the plural form to match the subject.

So, the correct sentence should be: "My friend Meera and her mother are visiting me this weekend."
