The options "Childs," "Childrens," and "Childes" are incorrect because they do not follow the correct pluralization rule for the word "child."

    • D. 

      Womeen

    Correct Answer
    C. Women
    Explanation
    The plural of "woman" is "women". In English, when a word ends in "-man", the plural form is typically formed by changing the "-man" to "-men". However, "woman" is an exception to this rule. The plural form of "woman" is "women". This is because "woman" is derived from the Old English word "wīfmann", where "wīf" meant "female" and "mann" meant "person". Over time, the "-mann" ending was dropped, and "woman" became the singular form while "women" became the plural form.
