C
Are the notebook and dictionaries still on the bottom shelf where I usually leaves them?
D

Explanation

The subject is “the notebook and dictionaries,” a compound subject joined by “and,” so it takes the plural verb “are.” In the final clause, “I” takes “leave,” not “leaves.” Therefore, the corrected sentence is “Are the notebook and dictionaries still on the bottom shelf where I usually leave them?”
