Discover LudwigThe phrase "are it" is not correct and usable in written English.
It is grammatically incorrect as "are" is a plural verb and cannot be used with the singular pronoun "it."
Example: "They are it" would be correct if referring to a group, but "are it" alone does not form a coherent statement.
Alternatives: "is it" or "are they".
