Explanation:

Analyze the subject and adjective

The subject is "She" (\(Ella\)) and the adjective is "beautiful" (\(hermosa\)). Describing an inherent characteristic like beauty typically uses the verb ser.

• "Ella es hermosa" uses the correct form of ser.
• "Ella están hermosa" uses a plural verb form with a singular subject.
• "Ella son hermosa" uses a plural verb form with a singular subject.

Answer:

• Ella está hermosa.

• Ella están hermosa.
• Ella son hermosa.
