b)Chef’s
c)Chefs
d)None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Noun refers to a word that is used to identify a generalized or non-specific person, place, thing or animal (common noun), or a specific person, place, thing or animal (proper noun).

Complete step-by-step answer:

 A plural noun is a word that indicates that there is more than one person, animal place, thing, or idea. When you talk about more than one of anything, you're using plural nouns. When you write about more than one of anything, you usually use the same word, simply adding an s, es, or ies to the end.
Let us analyze each option in order to find an accurate answer.
Option a ‘chef’ is not the plural but a singular form of the noun ‘chef’. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option b ‘chef’s’ refers to the possessive case of the noun ‘chef’, as we can see an apostrophe between chef and s. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option c ‘chefs’ is the correct form of plural of chef. Even in the French language, the plural of chef remains chefs. Hence, it is the correct option.
Option d ‘none of the above’ this is an invalid option.
The correct answer is Option ‘c’.

Note: The students should be made aware of the singular and plurals of the noun. As there are some words that are not frequently used, the chances of making mistakes lie in them.
