Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Correct answer: Intelligent investors make their moves.

Explanation:

  • Use the adjective "intelligent" (not the noun "intelligence") to describe investors.

  • Use the possessive pronoun "their" to agree with the plural noun "investors".

  • Use "moves" (plural) to indicate the actions taken by multiple investors. (While "make their move" can be used idiomatically, the option that best matches correct adjective and plural agreement is "make their moves".)

Why the other word choices are wrong:

  • Using "intelligence" is incorrect because it is a noun, not an adjective.

  • Using "its" is incorrect because it is singular and does not agree with the plural subject.

  • Using "them" is incorrect here because it is an object pronoun, not a possessive; that changes the grammar and meaning.
