Agreed @Abhi.
The preposition "an" matches to occasion.
2ndly spellings of "Opportunity" are incorrect.

End of the examinations is talking about time which is in positive way. So moment is right word.

If moment is used then celebration should be there. Here occasion is the answer.

Moment does not really sound right to me. Occasion should be the answer.
Can anyone explain it?

'An' is written in brackets as before opportunity an will be used and it may be the right option for some students (d). But right option is 'a' moment and thats why an is given in brackets which means it can b changed.

According to me, if we are using "moment", then the sentence should be, "The end of the examinations is a moment for celebrating", but here we don't have 'a' as a option before "moment".
Am I right ?
