The correct sentence is — One-fifth of the students are present today.

Explanation:
ভগ্নাংশ (fraction) ব্যবহারের ক্ষেত্রে কিছু নির্দিষ্ট নিয়ম অনুসরণ করতে হয়—

  • যখন ভগ্নাংশের প্রথম অংশটি One, তখন দ্বিতীয় অংশের সঙ্গে ‘s’ যোগ হয় না।
    যেমন: One-third, One-fourth, One-fifth.

  • কিন্তু ভগ্নাংশের প্রথম অংশটি One এর বেশি হলে, দ্বিতীয় অংশের সঙ্গে ‘s’ যোগ হয়।
    যেমন: Two-thirds, Three-fourths, Five-sixths.

  • ভগ্নাংশের পর যে noun আসে, সেটির সংখ্যাবচন (singular/plural) অনুযায়ী verb পরিবর্তিত হয়।

    • যদি noun singular হয়, verb হবে singular

    • যদি noun plural হয়, verb হবে plural।

Sentence Analysis:

  • এখানে students একটি plural noun, তাই verb হবে are

  • ফলে সঠিক রূপ হবে: One-fifth of the students are present today.

Incorrect options explained:

  • খ) One-fifths of the students are present today.
    ✗ ভুল, কারণ One-fifths নয়, One-fifth হবে।

  • গ) One-fifth of the student are present today.
    ✗ ভুল, কারণ student একবচন, তাই verb হবে is, are নয়।

  • ঘ) One-fifth of the students were present today.
    ✗ ভুল, কারণ today থাকায় এটি Present Tense হওয়া উচিত; কিন্তু were Past Tense নির্দেশ করছে।

অতএব, ব্যাকরণ অনুযায়ী একমাত্র সঠিক বাক্য হলো — One-fifth of the students are present today.
