Answer:

D collection

Step-by-step explanation:

-lect is the Latin root meaning 'to choose'

You add suffixes and prefixes and form more words:

Select means to choose

selective - choosy

selection - choice

Note that Latin root -lect also means "gather"; that's why English collect means 'to bring or gather together' (things).
