Answer 2

A. Do not divide “proper nouns” or “proper adjectives” is a best rule which is explains why the ‘word adorn’ should not be divided.

Explanation:

A ‘proper noun’ is a name of a person, place or a thing but it is very specific  and always starts with capital letter while proper adjectives gives meaning to  proper nouns and modifies it. They are formed from proper nouns. For example, If Gujarat is proper noun then Gujarati is proper adjective.

The word adorn is proper adjective. The proper nouns and proper adjectives are indivisible. The other options given are meaningless and does not make any sense.
