Detailed Solution

  • According to the general rule of English alphabet, the plural noun of ‘ potato ’ is ‘ potatoes ’. 
  • So option C is the correct option.
  •  Although there's no specific rule of English alphabet that can be applied to determine the plural noun, there's a standard applied to many words like ‘ potato ’ and ‘ tomato ’.
  • The rule states that if a noun terminates with ‘ o ’ and has a consonant before ‘ o ’ its plural form ends with ‘ es ’. 
  • But this rule can not be applied slightlye.g in the case of ‘ zero ’ whose plural form ends with ‘ s ’. So, one has to learn and flash back the plural form of ‘ potato ’. 
    Options A, B and D are wrong because they misspelled potato.
  • Hence, option C is the correct option.
