    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The subject of the sentence is "The cat," which is singular. When a phrase like "along with its three kittens" is added, it doesn't change the singular nature of the subject. Therefore, the verb should also be singular.
