Correct option is C
The correct option to fill in the blank is (c)
notices.
Explanation:
The sentence is in the
present tense and the clause “He indeed is intelligent who _______ this…” requires a
present simple verb to maintain subject-verb agreement.
“Who notices this…” correctly completes the clause referring to a person who is intelligent.
Example: He is the one who notices even the smallest details.
Explain why other options are incorrect:
·
Was noticed – past passive form, does not fit here.
·
Noticed – past tense, but the sentence requires present tense.
·
Noticing – present participle, grammatically incorrect here.
Grammatical rule used:
Relative clauses referring to a general truth or habit in the present take the
simple present tense verb.
