Which sentence correctly uses a plural verb with the correlative conjunction ‘both…and’?

Explanation

The correlative conjunction ‘both…and’ joins two subjects and always takes a plural verb, regardless of whether the individual subjects are singular, giving ‘Both John and Mary are coming.’ This differs from conjunctions like ‘either…or’ or ‘neither…nor,’ where the verb instead agrees with whichever subject is positioned nearer to it.
