I apologize for the confusion. Upon rereading the options, I see that A is incorrect because it says "a good variety of mugs" rather than "a variety of good mugs." The correct sentence would be "There is a variety of good mugs in the cabinet."

I apologize for the confusion earlier. The incorrect sentence is actually B as it uses the plural verb "are" instead of the singular verb "is" which should be used with "variety". The correct sentence would be "There is a good variety of mugs in the cabinet."
