1.      (d) The word 'pejorative' can act as an adjective and as a noun. Pejorative (adj): expressing contempt or disapproval. Pejorative (noun): a word expressing contempt or disapproval. In sentence II, the word is used as an adjective. The word gives a coherent sentence. Therefore, the sentence uses the word correctly. In sentence III, the word is used as a noun. The word gives a coherent sentence. Therefore, the sentence uses the word correctly. The word cannot be used as an infinitive as the word cannot act as a verb. Therefore, sentence I uses the word incorrectly. Instead, the word 'defame' can be used. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
