Detailed Solution

The correct option is (B), as the plural of “Policeman” is “Policemen”. A plural noun is a noun that is more than one in number or multiple items of the same.

Explanation:

The word "police" is a collective noun, meaning it represents a group but can be used with both singular and plural verbs. 

For example, you can say, "The police are investigating the bank robbery." Here, "police" refers to the group as a whole, so a plural verb like "are" is used to show that multiple officers are involved. However, "police" doesn’t refer to an individual, so it’s never used with the article "a" or "an" and is always understood as a group term.
