Detailed Solution

        Collective noun: It refers to a group of things that are considered a singular entity.
        Abstract noun: It refers to things that we cannot touch, see, or hear like emotions, traits, etc.
        Uncountable noun: It refers to things or nouns that cannot be counted.
A flock is a group of sheep. It is not an uncountable noun as we can count the number of sheep. It comes under the category of collective nouns.
Therefore, the correct option is 'collective noun'.
