Explanation:

The subject of the sentence is “The African Games Co - production Market” (a singular noun). In Standard English, a singular subject requires a singular verb.

• Option A “promotes” is the singular present - tense form of the verb “promote”, which agrees with the singular subject.
• Option B “promote” is the plural form of the verb (used with plural subjects like “they promote”), so it does not agree with the singular subject.
• Option C “are promoting” is a plural present - continuous form (used with plural subjects like “they are promoting”), so it does not agree with the singular subject.
• Option D “have promoted” is a plural present - perfect form (used with plural subjects like “they have promoted”), so it does not agree with the singular subject.

Answer:

A. promotes
