Detailed Solution

  • Option A: The city may be a singular noun ending with consonant -y and also the preceding -y could be a constant too therefore, per the rule, suffix -ies will replace -y. Hence, the plural of the word city would be city - -y + -ies i.e. cities. the proper answer may be A, cities.
  • Option B: Citys is wrong. it's an incorrect spelling. 
  • Option C: Citiez is wrong too as there's no such word within the West Germanic language. 
  • Option D: None of the above is invalid as we've got already found the right answer within the above-given options.
  • Any word ending with -y preceded by a consonant is modified to plural by removing the -y and then adding -ies.
  • Don't confuse citiez for cities due to the slight z sound within the pronunciation.
  • Hence, option A is the correct answer.
