Solution

The correct option is C ladies
If the noun ends with consonant followed by y, the plural of the noun is formed by removing the letter "y and changing it to "ies". The plural form of the word "lady" is "ladies". Basis this, the correct answer is Option C.

Option A is incorrect as the plural form of lady is ladies.
Option B is incorrect as it is the possessive form of the singular noun: lady. And not the possessive form of the plural noun: ladies.
Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer.
