Option D, "Neither bread nor rolls were served at dinner," correctly aligns the verb with its nearest subject, thus demonstrating a better understanding of subject-verb agreement than the other options. The other sentences contain errors in verb agreement with their respective compound subjects. Therefore, while none are perfect, D is the best choice.
