If James fails his examination, his teachers, his parents, his friends, "OR" I ______ to be blame.

If you had "and" before I, the answer would've been are.
But it was "or" before I, therefore the correct answer is am.

The correct answer is "are" not "am"
That's because are is used for a group of people while am is used for only a single person.
