If you're referring to one study, you use the word “analysis.” But when you're referring to multiple studies, you use the term “analyses.”
Step-by-step:
“These” normally takes a plural noun.
Analysis = singular
Analyses = plural ✔️
“Must have …” must be followed by a past participle (e.g., eaten, gone, attracted).
Attract = base form ❌
Attracted = past participle ✔️
Correct option:
✅ A. Analyses / Attract → Wrong (verb is wrong)
❌ B. Analyses / Attracted → THIS IS CORRECT
❌ C. Analysis / Attract
❌ D. Analysis / Attracted
The noun form of analysis has no plural form, the plural of the verb form, however, becomes analyses for British English, and analyzes for American English. The noun form was used in this sentence. Please make corrections.
