Correct Answer: B. Mangoes
The correct plural form of “mango” is “mangoes.” When forming the plural of nouns ending in “-o,” we typically add “-es” to the end of the word. Thus, the plural of “mango” becomes “mangoes.”
Explanation:
In English, some words ending in “-o” form their plurals by adding “-es,” while others simply take “-s.” For instance:
Tomato → Tomatoes
Potato → Potatoes
Hero → Heroes
Mango → Mangoes
However, some words just take “-s”:
Piano → Pianos
Photo → Photos
Zero → Zeros
Since “mango” follows the “-es” rule, its correct plural is mangoes.
