Assuming that the underlined word is affirmative, and you want to change it into a noun, the correct answer is C. As an affirmation of her loyalty, Keysha agreed to become a secret agent.

Here, we changed the word affirmative into a noun affirmation.

A is incorrect because affirmably is an adverb; B is incorrect because affirm is a verb; D is incorrect because affirmed is also a verb.
