d. being like

i think its either b or c not sure

The correct answer is B. Tending to. It comes form the ancient suffix -ivus from Latin language. It is used to make adjectives out of verbs and shows what someone is tending to or is pertaining to. Sometimes its form might vary if it was taken from the French language, but as French took things from Latin, we again go back to the fact that it is a Latin suffix.
