The sentence in which the subject agrees with the verb is:
"The team of horses runs across the prairie, startling the sunbathing birds."
To determine this, we need to identify the subject and the verb in each sentence.
In the first sentence, the subject is "team of horses," which is singular, and the verb is "runs," which also agrees with the singular subject.
In the second sentence, the subject is "herd of elephants," which is singular, but the verb is "move," which is plural. Therefore, the subject and verb do not agree.
In the third sentence, the subject is "band of coyotes," which is singular, but the verb is "roam," which is also plural. So, the subject and verb do not agree in this sentence either.
In the fourth sentence, the subject is "flock of sheep," which is singular, and the verb is "scurry," which agrees with the singular subject.
Therefore, the sentence "The team of horses runs across the prairie, startling the sunbathing birds" is the correct answer where the subject agrees with the verb.
