A Correct answer
Explanation

Gentry refers to people of good social position or class as a collective group. It is an uncountable noun that doesn't change form in the plural. We use 'gentry' for both singular and plural, similar to how 'family' or 'clergy' work. 'Gentries' and other spellings are incorrect.
