Note
The plural exists only because flexibility can be counted. As a mass noun it names a quality, of a body, a material or a plan, and takes no plural. Once each option or allowance is counted separately, it becomes a countable thing: a deal may hold several flexibilities, each one a specific way of departing from the default. For the quality itself, keep the singular: much flexibility, not many flexibilities.
