Correct Answer:  Interjection
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 1.

Explanation:

The word "why" belongs to the interjections category of speech. Words used as interjections are those that convey strong or quick emotions.

They are used in sentences to indicate emotions like surprise, contempt, delight, excitement, or enthusiasm, frequently at the beginning.

There are two ways to use "why" as an interjection: as a means to convey astonishment that frequently carries a hint of disapproval or opposition.

Why, the word used in the phrase, conveys emotion.
