The correct sentence is:

To determine the correct answer, we need to consider subject-verb agreement. In English grammar, the subject of a sentence should agree with the verb in terms of number (singular or plural).
In the first sentence, "The surface of the parking lots were redone this summer," the subject "surface" is singular, but the verb "were" is plural. To correct this, we should use the singular verb "was": "The surface of the parking lots was redone this summer."
In the second sentence, "The bike on the bike rack is blue," both the subject "bike" and the verb "is" are singular, which shows proper subject-verb agreement. Therefore, this sentence is correct.
In the third sentence, "The sidewalks in the courtyards has been decorated with chalk," the subject "sidewalks" is plural, but the verb "has" is singular. To maintain subject-verb agreement, we should use the plural verb "have" instead: "The sidewalks in the courtyards have been decorated with chalk."
In the fourth sentence, "The cars in the parking lot belongs to the teachers," the subject "cars" is plural, but the verb "belongs" is singular. To make it grammatically correct, we should use the plural verb "belong" instead: "The cars in the parking lot belong to the teachers."
