answer explanation:
<p>Smoking is allowed only in the <strong>designated</strong> area.</p>
<div>(A) designate - Incorrect. The verb "designate" is in the present tense, but the sentence requires the past participle form.</div>
<div>(B) designated - Correct. This is the past participle form of the verb "designate," which is used to describe the area where smoking is allowed.</div>
<div>(C) designating - Incorrect. The verb "designating" is in the present participle form, which does not fit the sentence structure.</div>
<div>(D) designation - Incorrect. "Designation" is a noun, not a verb, so it does not describe the area where smoking is allowed.</div>
