To determine the meaning of "payment", we analyze each option:

• "ready to pay for something" refers to a state of willingness, not the act of payment.
• "the reason for paying someone" is about the motive, not the payment itself.
• "the act of paying for something" matches the definition of "payment" (a noun referring to the action of paying).
