    The correct answer is B. to try.

    Explanation:

    The word essay comes from the French word essayer, which actually means to try. Over time, when the English language took the word over from French, it changed its meaning and now it means a form of text you write on a particular subject. However, originally it did not mean that - it just took an additional meaning throughout the years, so much that the original meaning in English is forgotten.
