What are your office hours? vs What is your office hours?

'What are your office hours?' is the proper English phrasing. This is because 'office hours' is a plural noun, so it should be paired with the plural form of the verb 'are.' 'What is your office hours?' is incorrect because 'is' should be used with a singular noun, not a plural one.
