Answer 1

The correct option is A cruise

The required word is a noun, as it refers to a type of holiday.
Option A: A 'cruise' is 'a voyage on a ship or a boat taken for pleasure or a holiday'. It refers to the sentence here, as they plan to go on a month-long cruise around the Mediterranean region.
Hence option A is correct.
Option B: 'Cruiser' is a yacht or a boat on which the cruise is taken. It does not refer to the holiday itself: "month-long cruise (holiday).
Option C: 'Cruising' is the action of sailing on a ship or boat. It's a verb and does not describe the holiday.
Option D: A 'crusade' is a war or a campaign. This word does not relate here.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
