Step-by-step explanation:

Inflection is adding something to a word to change the way it's used. For example, "drawing" is an inflection of the word "draw" because it's changing the way that word is being used.

Look at the sentence and see what words might have changed from what they usually are.

"Waiting." "Waiting" is another version of the word "wait." The person is now actively waiting.

"Leaves." "Leaves" is an inflection of the word "leave."

You can use process of elimination to find the rught answer. Is "organization" a changed word from what it used to be? I don't think so. What about "is?" No.

Answer:

C. waiting, leaves

Hope this helped!
