    D collection

    Explanation:

    -lect is the Latin root meaning 'to choose'

    You add suffixes and prefixes and form more words:

    Select means to choose

    selective - choosy

    selection - choice

    Note that Latin root - lect also means "gather"; that's why English collect means 'to bring or gather together' (things).
