"Thanks" is the plural so A is correct. "many thanks to my classmates/friends/coworkers etc" is fine. "many thanks" doesn't have to be followed by a verb.

i think that the correct answer should be (c) because thanks is considered singular.. I mean the "s" in thanks is part of the word.. You can't say our thank... Like you will deal with it in the same way as physics or economics..
That is all! (My point of view, am a student not a teacher XD)

Anonymousbecause thanks is considered singular.No. It's considered plural even though it's not used in the singular. (It's like "clothes" in that way.)
