This is a classic example of two part construction. The frame used here is Neither A nor B and Either X or Y.
Thing to remember in such construction, number of B and Y are to be used for SV agreement.
For example - Neither the boys nor the girlis here. Because the subject is girl and not 'boys and girl'.
Hence usage of "is" and "are" is totally governed by the very after or/nor.
Correct answer according to me would be C.
