Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In the structure "one of + plural noun + relative pronoun (that/who)", the verb following the relative pronoun agrees with the plural noun antecedent. Here, the antecedent is "stories" (plural), so the relative clause verb must be plural (were instead of was).
Therefore, the error is in part C. The correct sentence should be: "Tom Sawyer is one of the best kid stories that were ever written."
