ANSWER:

d. Because women and children are given priority when evacuating a sinking​ ship, sometimes families are split apart during the crisis.

Option A is incorrect as the plural of mouse is mice, not mouses.

Option B is incorrect as although it is controversial, the plural of deer is the same as its singular form, so it is deer not deers.

Option C is incorrect as the plural of library is libraries, not librarys.

Option D is correct as women, children and familes are the correct plurals of their singular forms.

Hope this helps! :)
Have a lovely day! <3
