hang is correct.
the word today signifies that the sentence is in the present tense. so the verbs "hang" or "hangs" can only be used. just find out what it is that hangs--the subject. works is the answer. so since works is plural, we use the plural verb, which is "hang." his works hang--makes sense, right?

While the correct word would be 'hang', in a special situation, 'will hang' could also be accepted.
If you are addressing someone before the 'works' actually go on display at different galleries in the word, then 'will hang' could be used, since the event has not yet taken place at the point of time you make that statement.

Today = now = present = present simple
his works = they = hang
If you omit everything else that is redundant in this sentence, you are left with a statement in present simple.
His works hang in galleries throughout the world.
Today = preposition of time = simple present
,displayed in the same galleries as works by the world's greatest painters. = (which/whose works?? = his works) = relative adjective clause describing "his works" Hope this explains it.

Are you sure you reproduced it correctly? The blank needs a verb for the noun "his works", and none of these fit. Perhaps the word "are" is missing, in which case choice A seems to make sense with "his works are considered".
If that's not what's wrong, I have no idea.

E. None of the above.
None of the choices given make grammatical sense. Instead, "are displayed" or "are shown" would work here.

You know you will never see four and twenty blackbirds sitting together in the same tree so, to get four and twenty of them into one pie is pure genius.

the answer is hang because works is plural and the verb hang is also plural
