A. Drinking and driving is a crime.
B. One or the other of you have to compromise.
C. Neither the gloves nor the scarf need washing.
D. Each invoice and purchase order has to be approved by the manager.

Statement B: Since "or" is used between the two words, the auxiliary verb needs to be for a "singular" entity. Hence, this sentence is incorrect.

Statement C: Similarly, since "Neither_nor" is used, the auxiliary verb should be for a singular entity. Hence, this sentence is also incorrect.

Hence, the answer is option C.
