A Correct answer
Explanation

When using numbers with 'pair of', we keep 'pair' singular: 'three pair of shoes', not 'three pairs'. This follows the pattern of measure words. We say 'three dozen eggs' not 'three dozens', and similarly 'three pair of shoes' is correct. Options C and D are misspelled.
