  Option "Moose is the most important game animal in Alaska" uses a singular verb (is) in the place of a plural verb.

  Option "Moose, the most important game animal in Alaska" does not have any verb.

  Option "Mooses are the most important game animal in Alaska" uses a wrong plural form of the noun (mooses).

  Option "Moose have the most important game animal in Alaska" uses an auxiliary verb (have) without a main verb.
