Which sentence is correct?

A. The packaging of the boxes has to be strong enough to protect the goods that is being transported.

B. The packaging of the boxes have to be strong enough to protect the goods that is being transported.

C. The packaging of the boxes has to be strong enough to protect the goods that are being transported.

D. The packaging of the boxes have to be strong enough to protect the goods that are being transported.

#3 is correct.
Problems with the others: #1 - "is being" should be "are being" because "goods" is plural #2 - "have" should be "has" and "is" should be "are" (boxes and goods are plural) #4 - "have" should be "has" (boxes are plural)

The correct sentence is option C: 'The packaging of the boxes has to be strong enough to protect the goods that are being transported.' Options A, B, and D contain errors related to subject-verb agreement which have been explained. Proper subject-verb agreement is key for clarity in writing.
