Solution
The sentence that shows correct subject-verb agreement is D. "The girls eat their lunch together."
Here's why:

B. "The girl eat their lunch together." - Incorrect for the same reason as A. Additionally, "their" is plural and should not be used with the singular "girl".
C. "The girls eats their lunches together." - Incorrect because "girls" is plural and should be paired with "eat", not "eats".
D. "The girls eat their lunch together." - Correct. "Girls" is plural and is correctly paired with "eat". "Their" is also plural and correctly refers to the plural "girls".
