    A eldest Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B elders Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C olders Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D oldest Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Elders" is a plural noun that refers to people who are older or more senior in age or experience within a community or family. When talking about showing respect or deference to people who are older or have more experience, "elders" is the appropriate term. "Eldest" is the superlative form of "old," used to refer to the person who is the oldest among three or more siblings or family members. It is not used in a general context to refer to older people within a community or society. "Olders" is not a standard English term. The correct form would be "older individuals" or something similar, but it doesn't fit well in this sentence. "Oldest" is the superlative form of "old," but it's used to compare the ages of things, not people, and it doesn't fit the context of showing respect to individuals. Therefore, the correct option is (b) elders: "We should respect to our elders." This means that we should show respect to those who are older or more experienced within our community or family.
