Answer :(A)
Explanation : Replace 'woman teachers' by 'women teachers'.
The usual way to use a noun as an adjective is in the singular. Examples of this common way are apple tree and apple trees, shoe store and shoe stores, and child psychologist and child psychologist.
However, there are exceptions to this "rule." One of the exceptions applies to the words "man" and "woman." Unlike most nouns, when "man" and "woman" are used as adjectives modifying a plural noun, they often change form to plural, too. Thus, we have:

a man teacher
but
men teachers

a woman pilot
but
women pilots
