Q1. You cannot use options A or B because the given verb is ‘is’ (singular) not ‘are’ (plural). Answers / tests and answers indicates the plural.
‘A test’ is singular so this is the only option which matches the verb.
Q2. Money is uncountable. Uncountable nouns take the singular form, so again you need ‘is’ not ‘are’. ‘Be’ is the root verb but the 3rd person conjucations are ‘is/are’ so ‘be’ is incorrect too.
