That magnificent ______ temple was constructed by the Chinese. [Basic]

• A. eight-centuries-old
• B. eight-century's-old
• C. old-eight-centuries
• D. eight-century-old

Answer 1

The correct option is D eight-century-old

In an adjectival phrase, number is preceded by the quality and it is usually expressed in singular, that is, eight followed by century which is followed by old. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence, incorrect.
