Explanation
Option B is correct because 'committee' is treated as a singular unit, hence 'has decided' and 'its report' are appropriate. In Option A, 'Neither of' takes a singular verb ('has'). In Option C, 'Every one of' also takes a singular verb ('was asked'). In Option D, 'Economics' is a singular subject, requiring a singular verb ('is').
