The best option to correct the sentence is:

A. change is going to are going

The correct sentence would be: "Neither Ivan nor I are going to the basketball game on Friday night."

This follows the rule that when using "neither...nor" with a compound subject, the verb agrees with the nearest subject, which in this case is "I," taking the plural verb "are."
