Correct Answer:
A. اسم کیفیت
This question pertains to Urdu grammar, specifically the classification of nouns. The words 'نرمی' (softness), 'تاریکی' (darkness), and 'سردی' (coldness) are abstract nouns that denote a quality, state, or condition rather than a concrete object or an action.
- 'اسم کیفیت' (A) is the correct answer. It refers to an abstract noun that expresses a quality, state, or condition. These words are derived from adjectives (نرم, تاریک, سرد) and represent the quality itself.
- 'اسم عالیه' (B) refers to an instrumental noun, which names a tool or instrument (e.g., چاقو - knife). The given words are not instruments.
- 'اسم صفت' (C) refers to an adjective, which describes a noun (e.g., نرم - soft). The given words are nouns representing the quality, not the descriptive adjectives.
- 'اسم مفعول' (D) refers to a passive participle, indicating the recipient of an action (e.g., لکھا ہوا - written). The given words are not passive participles.
