Correct Answer:
B. Beauty
This question tests the understanding of different types of nouns, specifically identifying an abstract noun. Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas.
- Correct Answer B: Beauty. An abstract noun refers to a quality, idea, concept, or state that cannot be perceived by the five senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing). You cannot physically touch, see, or hear "beauty" itself; rather, you perceive beautiful things or the quality of beauty. It exists as a concept or an attribute.

- Incorrect Answer C: Chair is also a concrete noun, referring to a tangible object.
- Incorrect Answer D: Pencil is another example of a concrete noun, representing a physical item.
