A
Yes
B
No
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, let’s review what we have learned about forming adverbs in English: Most adjectives that can be transformed into adverbs simply need-ly added to the end. If the adjective ends in-y, you must change the y to i, then add-ly. If the adjective ends in-le, you should remove the e and add-y.

Detailed explanation-2: -We make many adverbs by adding-ly to an adjective, for example: quick (adjective) > quickly (adverb) careful (adjective) > carefully (adverb)

Detailed explanation-3: -The majority of adverbs do end in ”ly” but it is not a set rule. There is more to consider than just the ending spellings of words to determine what meaning to apportion to them. Not all words that end in ly are adverbs, for example sly and lily, and not all adverbs end in-ly – for example never and very.

Detailed explanation-4: -A common spelling mistake is to add-ley. This mistake is often made when the adjective ends in the letter-e. Note the correct spelling of adverbs formed from adjectives ending in-e. Adjectives that end in-y change to-i before adding-ly, unless, like sly or dry, they have only one syllable.
