Explanation

Correct. The four words - half, shelf, wolf, and loaf – follow the same rule while forming the plurals (by changing the final letter –f into –ves). Thus, the plural forms of these words are – halves, shelves, wolves and loaves. The word ‘proof’, though ending with –f, is an exception. The plural of proof is proofs.
