Solution
The correct option is D conversation 'Conversing' is the present continuous form of the verb, 'converse'. Its noun form is 'conversation', which means: A talk, especially an informal one, between two or more people, in which news and ideas are exchanged. Hence, option A is correct.
Options B, C and D are incorrect as there is no word such as 'converzation' or 'converser' or 'conversance' in the English language. These don't carry any meaning.
