Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation: The correct usage of the infinitive verb form after "to" requires the base form of the verb. In this case, the infinitive "to absorb" should be used instead of "to absorbing".

So, the correct sentence is: This sponge is not able to absorb water.
