Answer:
The verb in the sentence is:
a) transitive
Explanation:
A transitive verb exerts its action on an object, which means it can only express its meaning completely if that object is mentioned. In the sentence "Rings on the scales of some fish show the age of the fish," the verb is "show". To find the object, we have to ask the verb a question: the rings show what? They show the age of the fish. "the age of the fish" is the complete object of the verb "show". Therefore, the verb "show" is transitive.

D. <em>uncharitable</em>.
The suffix <em>-able</em>, borrowed from Old French and originally from the Latin <em>-ābilis</em> (meaning "worthy of being acted upon"), can have different meanings.
The most common one is "fit/liable to be (done)," as in:
- <em>likeable</em> - fit to be liked
- <em>washable</em> - fit to be washed
- <em>degradable</em> - liable to be degraded.
This, however, does not apply to <em>comfortable</em>. Another meaning of <em>-able</em>, however, is "giving, or inclined to," as in:
- <em>comfortable</em> - giving comfort
- <em>(un)charitable</em> - (not) inclined to charity.
