IMHO, this is the best and most correct of the three.

That's because 'package' is singular, not plural. You wouldn't say, "the
cats has a new ball", it would be, "the cats have a new ball". In the

The sentence with the minus sign uses the word have when it should be
using the word has. At least that is the case with American English. I
don't know but, it might be correct according to GB English. I haven't

in GB English.
