Hey There,
First, let's look at the definition of Venerable.
Venerable: This means "impressive by reason of age" or "Deserving respect."
We don't know what this book could be. It could be sacred, or a book of laws. Or something that deserves respect.
The answer to your question is D) An antique book
The answer is D due to the fact that this book could be very important, and we do not know what it is.
Best Of Luck,
