The problem here is that we don't know the actual quantity of the subject "Block", so how can we determine what quantity of verb will it agree to?
It should also be right to answer the letter B because both "Block" and "Blocks" can be used since the actual quantity of the subject is unfounded.

The error in the sentence is in the subject-verb agreement.
"Block of Residential flats" is a singular subject, so a singular verb should follow it.
Therefore, the corrected sentence is B) "Block of Residential flats is coming up near our house."
"Block of Residential flats" is a singular subject, so a singular verb should follow it.
Therefore, the corrected sentence is B) "Block of Residential flats is coming up near our house."

'Are' is used for plural words. As it is mentioned that there are so many flats.
So 'Are' is the correct answer.
So 'Are' is the correct answer.
