Penjelasan
The correct option to complete the sentence is:
B. is
So the complete sentence would be: "Each of the winners is to receive five thousand dollars."
In this sentence, "each" is an indefinite pronoun and indefinite pronouns are treated as singular pronouns, so it should be followed by the singular form of the verb, which is "is."
