Solution
The correct option is D inches
Option A is incorrect as the word inch is a singular noun and not plural. Options B and C are incorrect as there is no word such as inchez or inchs. The plural form of nouns ending with -ch, -s, -sh, -x, etc is formed by suffixing "es" to the noun. Here the noun inch, ends with -ch. Hence, its plural form is: inches. Option D is the correct answer.
