Solution

The correct option is D This
'Dress' is a singular noun, hence we need a determiner/demonstrative adjective that can be used with singular nouns only.
Option B - 'Such' is used to explain the things that are previously mentioned or to be mentioned. As 'dress' wasn't previously mentioned or is described in the sentence, we can't use 'such' here. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'These' is used with plural nouns only. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Those' is used with plural nouns only. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'This' is used to determine and demonstrate the singular subject as an adjective. Thus option A is the correct answer.
'This dress does not fit me now.'
