Generally when a word ends with 's' already, we do not add an 's' to the word to make it plural. This rules out Option A); and the Options B) and C) are incorrect as they're not even words. This leaves us with the correct answer - Option D). The word 'oases' is the specific plural for the singular form 'oasis' , making this an exceptional case.
