The correct answer is the last one.

The addition of the suffix - ion changes the root word from a verb to a noun.

Without the suffix, the word is "construct." This word is a verb meaning "to build." By adding the suffix - ion, the word "construct" becomes the word "construction." The word "construction" is a noun meaning "a building."

Therefore, the correct answer is the last one. The suffix turns a verb into a noun.
