After one of the noun should be plural and verb is singular.

When we are stating, " this is one of the most important. ".
This refers as singular, therefore it should be invention instead of inventions.
I hope for your immediate response.
Thank You.

@Halim yeah Ok I agree to that but there is 'most' which specifies that we are talking about that particular invention. Doesn't it? feel free to correct me. I think answer is A.

Invention is a countable noun and after "one of the" we should always use plural noun. For this it must be inventions.

I think 'invention' should replace 'inventions' because we are talking about a single invention only.

'one of the' is always followed by plural form.
