Detailed Solution

Concept: Nouns are the words we use to refer to objects, people, places, or anything else. Depending on the name, they might be of many varieties. A group of nouns is referred to by a collective noun. For instance, we might use the term "pride of lions" to describe a pack of lions. The word "pride" is used here to describe a group or collection of lions rather than any vanity that the lion or its group may be displaying. Similar expressions include "herd" of cattle, "school" of fish, and others. ‘Troupe' means 'a group of dancers, actors, or other artists traveling to different places,' and, thus, a collective noun. ‘Singers’ and ‘programme’ are common nouns but not collective nouns.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
