C Correct answer
Explanation

Correct. The four words - oasis, analysis, basis, and crisis – follow the same rule while forming the plurals (by changing –is of the singular into -es). Thus, the plural forms of these words are - oases, analyses, bases and crises. The word ‘khakis’ is the odd one here since it is already in the plural form (khaki – khakis) and is not related to the rule mentioned above.
