Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

C

wisdom

An abstract noun is a noun that cannot be seen or touched. It is an idea, quality or state.

'Wisdom' is an abstract noun form of the verb 'wise'; it refers to a quality, the capability of using knowledge and experience to make decisions. Hence option C is correct.

Option A is incorrect because 'wise' is a verb.

Option B is incorrect because 'being wise' is a verb phrase, where 'being' is an auxiliary (helping) verb and 'wise' is the main verb.

Option D is incorrect because it makes no sense. Also, 'having' and 'wise' are both verbs.
