• D. decide

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

decision

The word, 'deciding' is the present continuous form of the verb, 'decide'. Its abstract noun form is 'decision'. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect as the word, 'deciding' is either used as a verb in present continuous form (as in the given sentence) or as an adjective. However, it is not a noun. Example of its use as an adjective: "In the end, money was the 'deciding' factor". In this sentence, the adjective, 'deciding' describes the noun, 'factor'.

Option C is incorrect as there is no word such as 'decition' in English language. This word doesn't carry any meaning.

Option D is incorrect as the word, 'decide' is a verb, not a noun.
