Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Option A is incorrect as there is no word such as archs.

The plural form of nouns ending with -ch, -s, -sh, -x, etc is formed by suffixing "es" to the noun. Here the noun arch, ends with -ch. Hence, its plural form is: arches. Option B is the correct answer.

Option C is incorrect as arch is a singular noun, not plural.
