The subject of the sentence is "Lee and Dana," which is plural, so the correct form of the verb to use is "are playing." A is incorrect because it uses the singular verb form "am" instead of the plural form "are." B is incorrect because it uses the singular verb form "is" instead of the plural form "are."
