Correct Answer

A

Explanation

In this sentence, “Neither... nor” is followed by two singular subjects (the principal, the teachers). When “neither... nor” is used, the verb agrees with the subject closer to it. In this case, “teachers” is closer, but it’s part of the “neither... nor” construction, so we treat it as singular. Therefore, we use the singular verb “is.”
