All of the options listed (plow, writing, calendar, and wheel) are inventions attributed to the Sumerians. However, if you want to choose one that is less commonly emphasized as specifically a Sumerian invention, it could be debated whether the calendar was developed independently in various ancient cultures.
For clarity, in the context of historical significance, none of the items listed are strictly "not" a Sumerian invention, but they were all valuable contributions to ancient civilization that emerged during the Sumerian period.
If forced to choose one option, I would say while the Sumerians had a significant influence on the development of calendars, the concept of a calendar as a tool for tracking time was also developed independently in other ancient cultures. However, for a clear answer, all are indeed Sumerian inventions or contributions.
