Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Daughters – in – law

Explanation: When making compound nouns plural, the main noun takes the plural form, not the prefix or suffix. In daughter-in-law, the main noun is daughter. A. Daughter-in-laws ❌ – Wrong, because law is not the main noun. B. Daughters–in–Laws ❌ – Wrong, plural is applied to daughters but the format is incorrect. C. Daughters–in–law ✅ – Correct, plural is formed on daughter (the main noun), while in-law remains unchanged. D. Daughter–in–law ❌ – Singular form, not plural.
