Why not "Block of residential flats is coming"?

The only correct answer is Option A, because A. 'Block of residential flats' can be changed to 'Blocks of residential flats'.
Making the statement correct by changing Option B 'are coming up' to 'is coming up' requires a change in Option A again. For that, it would have to begin with "A block of residential flats" "is coming up".
We do not say "Block of residential flats", but "Blocks of residential flats" is used.

'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.
