    A are Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B were Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C has Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D have Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When dealing with a compound subject joined by "or," the verb should agree with the closer subject. In this case, "Ram" is the closer subject to the verb, and "have" is the correct verb form. Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Either you or Ram have to help me." This construction maintains subject-verb agreement, and "have" is the appropriate choice for a compound subject.
