The correct sentence uses "has criticized" because the subject "a famous animal rights activist" is singular and requires the singular verb form "has." The phrase "did you know" sets up the question but does not affect the subject-verb agreement in the main clause. Additionally, "criticized" is the past participle form used with "has" to indicate a completed action relevant to the present.

The sentence is correct. The subject/verb pair in the main clause is you/know which is correct. And the subject/verb pair in the subordinate clause is activist/has which is correct. The addition of the noun adjunct (animal-rights) would not change the singular condition of the subject "activist."
