The sentence that displays correct subject-verb agreement is:

My collection of stamps is extensive.

In this sentence, "collection" is the singular subject, and "is" is the correct verb form to match it.

The other sentences have incorrect subject-verb agreement:

  • "The island visited by the travelers are warm." should be "The island visited by the travelers is warm."
  • "The cattle in the field is huge!" should be "The cattle in the field are huge!" (since "cattle" is plural).
  • "The books at the library is very helpful." should be "The books at the library are very helpful." (since "books" is plural).
