«El cuadro de Picasso no está en venta, sino que _____ a la colección permanente».

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. pertenece

Analysis: 'Sino que' introduces an affirmative factual clause contrasting with a negated preceding clause, taking the indicative ('pertenece'). Answer: pertenece. Why not the others: 'pertenezca' is subjunctive; 'pertenecerá' is future; 'perteneciera' is imperfect subjunctive.
