Detailed Solution

The plural of axis is axes. Generally, when a word ends with 's' already, we do not add an 's' to the word to make it plural, nor do we add an apostrophe (the symbol ') as that is used to show possession, not plural. This rules out Options 3, 4 and 1 is incorrect as it is not even a word. This leaves us with the correct answer - 2. The word 'axes' is the specific plural for the singular form 'axis’.
