Correct Answer: Collective


Solution : The correct answer is option 4.

Explanation:

- Abstract Noun: A noun that designates a concept, property, or state as opposed to a physical thing.
- Proper Noun: A name with the first letter capitalized that is used to identify a specific person, location, or organization.
- Common Noun: A noun that refers to a group of things or a concept rather than a specific person.
- Collective Noun: A collective noun is a group of things that are referred to collectively.
- A group that is operated under centralized control is referred to as a "fleet" (such as a ship, an airplane, or a truck).
- Therefore, "fleet" (the underlined noun) is a "collective noun."
