Detailed Solution

  • Concept: In its utmost introductory sense, “ singular ” is commodity that is single. It's a single item as opposed to multitudinous. In distinction to this, “ plural ” stands for multitudinous. 
  • You could say that it's the negative of singular as they are two contrary generalities. 
  • There are multitudinous ways of making a noun plural. 
  • The most introductory way is to add a ‘ s ’ to the end of the word. horse- horses lake- lake croquette- galettes book- books
  • The system of making a word plural depends on its consummations. Words that end with ‘ife’ like life and knife change into lives and cutters also, words that end with ‘ss’ like dress and loss change into dresses and losses.
  • We form the plural of analogous nouns not by adding ‘s’ but by adding ‘es'. Thus, the word “hero” changes into “icons” while “potato” changes into “potatoes”.
  • Now, let us consider our given question. Tomato is a noun which ends with the alphabet ‘o’.
  •  As we have seen ahead, analogous words can be changed into their plural form by adding ‘es’.
  •  Hence, option A is the correct answer.
