Correct Answer: pairs


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : In this context, the grammatical hint guides us to select a term that aptly characterises the arrangement of various coloured ear muffs. Pairs is the most fitting choice as it implies a set of two similar items, aligning perfectly with the notion of different-coloured ear muffs being organised in pairs.
