A large number of houses has come up around Kolkata.

Answer: Option B. -> are coming
The given sentence is in the present tense, and the subject is "a large number of houses," which is plural. Therefore, the verb should also be in the plural form.
Option A, i.e., "is coming up," is incorrect because "is" is singular, and it does not agree with the plural subject "a large number of houses."
Option C, i.e., "had come up," is in the past perfect tense, indicating an action completed before another past event. However, the sentence is in the present tense, and there is no reference to any past event. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D, i.e., "had come," is in the past perfect tense, indicating an action completed before another past event. However, the sentence is in the present tense, and there is no reference to any past event. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option E, i.e., "No correction," is incorrect because the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
Therefore, option B, i.e., "are coming," is the correct answer. The present continuous tense is used to indicate actions happening at the moment of speaking. Hence, the sentence would be, "A large number of houses are coming up around Kolkata."
To summarize, the correct answer is option B, i.e., "are coming," because the subject "a large number of houses" is plural, and the present continuous tense is used to indicate actions happening at the moment of speaking.
