A Correct answer
Explanation

Ugliness follows the pattern for forming nouns from adjectives ending in 'y' - replace 'y' with 'i' and add '-ness'. The word 'ugly' becomes 'ugliness' (not 'uglness' or other variations). Options B, C, and D incorrectly handle this transformation by missing letters or adding extra 'e's.
