A. The red dress of the model sparkle down the runway

Explanation:

A subject verb agreement simply mean that the subject and verb must agree with each other in either number or in tense. The verb in option A, "sparkle", can be considered a plural verb, which doesn't agree with the singular noun, "dress". In order for this sentence to make sense, we would have to revise the whole of the sentence to be plural, or just change the verb to a singular tense.
