detailed solution

Correct option is C

Nouns identify names of people, places, animals, and things based on gender. Nouns can be classified into masculine, feminine, common, and neuter. Masculine nouns denote male members of species or male figures, Feminine nouns indicate female members of species or female figures, Common nouns are not gender-specific, and Neuter nouns point out items that lack gender. While “milkman” is masculine, “milkmaid” is a feminine noun. The first and second options are not widely used or accepted. Since the third option is the most commonly used noun, the correct answer is “milkmaid.”
