I don't see any incorrect sentences.
Clearly you are studying subject-verb agreement, more specifically when subjects are singular and when they are plural. There must be something in your text that addresses what you are supposed to see in these sentences.

The incorrect sentence is option d) Members of the jury are arguing over the evidence.
To identify the incorrect sentence, we need to carefully examine each option.
a) "The jury has been deliberating for the past three hours." - This sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense. It is describing an ongoing action of the jury deliberating.
b) "Members of the jury have been deliberating for the past three hours." - This sentence is also grammatically correct and conveys the same meaning as option a).
c) "The jury is arguing over the evidence." - This sentence is also grammatically correct and is describing the jury engaging in a current argument over the evidence.
d) "Members of the jury are arguing over the evidence." - This sentence is grammatically correct and has the same meaning as option c).
Therefore, all four sentences appear to be correct, and it seems there is no incorrect sentence provided in the options.
