Answer:

B. beauty

Step-by-step explanation:

Abstract nouns are words that name things that are not concrete. Your five physical senses cannot detect an abstract noun – you can't see it, smell it, taste it, hear it, or touch it. In essence, an abstract noun is a quality, a concept, an idea, or maybe even an event.

Examples of abstract pronouns:

liberty, anger, freedom, love, generosity, charity,
