Answer
Correct Answer : c ) Uncountable Noun
Explanation :Let us first understand what are countable nouns, uncountable nouns, common nouns, and pronouns.
Countable Nouns are the things that we can count using numbers. For example - one dog, two dog, one shop, one car, here dog, car, shop are countable nouns.
Uncountable nouns are the things that we cannot count using numbers. For example - Air, Knowledge, Beauty, Honesty, Love, etc.
Common Noun are nouns that are generic names of a person, place, or things. Basically, a common noun is a noun that may be preceded by an article or other limiting modifier and that denotes any or all of a class of entities and not an individual. For example - City, Horse, Theory of Evolution, Sports, etc.
Pronouns are the words that are substituted for other nouns when the reader knows which noun are you referring to. For example - He, They, Who, She, etc.
By looking at the above definitions, we can say that Honesty is an uncountable noun.
Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
