Answer 2

This telephone needs a new receiver.  

Option: (d)

Explanation:

A simple present tense is a tense form which relates to a process or incident that is taking place at the present moment. It is also called the present indefinite tense as it doesn't define the specific duration of the event.

In the given sentence: The telephone ...... a new receiver  

The duration is not mentioned. Hence the simple present tense is used. Since the telephone is a singular entity the verb used will be needs.
