    Solution

    Explanation: Pinches (correct form): In this context, "pinches" is the present simple tense, indicating the current or habitual action of the shoe causing discomfort.   Options:   (a) Will pinch: This is the future tense, and it doesn't convey the idea that the discomfort is currently happening or is a habitual occurrence. (b) Pinched: This is the past tense, indicating that the discomfort has already occurred. It doesn't convey the ongoing or habitual nature of the action. (c) Pinches: This is the correct present simple tense, fitting the context of the ongoing or habitual discomfort caused by the shoe. (d) None of these: This is not the correct choice, as option (c) "pinches" is the appropriate term.
