Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Solution: The plural of "basis" is "bases".

Key rule: For many nouns ending in -is, form the plural by replacing -is with -es.

  • basis → bases

  • crisis → crises

  • analysis → analyses

Common incorrect forms and why they are wrong:

  • "Bassies" — incorrect spelling and not a recognized plural form.

  • "Basises" — incorrect because the correct pattern is to replace -is with -es, not to add -es to the whole word.

  • "Basis" — this is the singular form, not plural.

Final answer: bases
