Detailed Solution

Concept: Atypical noun refers to a person, place, or thing in general but does not name any specific person, place, or thing. A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing that always begins with an uppercase letter.
The correct answer is 'Elephant, animal, land - Common Nouns.' The words are the final words and do not specify anything.
The incorrect answer is 'Elephant - Proper Noun; Animal, Land - Common Nouns.' The words 'Animal' and 'Land' are treated correctly and are called common nouns, but the word 'Elephant' is called a correct noun, which is incorrect.
The incorrect answer is 'Elephant - Common Noun; Animal, Land - Proper Nouns.' The word 'Elephant' is said correctly, but the words 'Animal' and 'Land' are presented incorrectly as Proper Nouns.
The incorrect answer is 'Elephant, animal, land - Proper Nouns.' The words are all presented as proper nouns, which is incorrect because the words do not specify anything specific.
