    Correct Answer
    A. Are ideas, concepts, or qualities that cannot be seen or experienced
    Explanation
    Abstract nouns are ideas, concepts, or qualities that cannot be seen or experienced through the five senses. Unlike concrete nouns, which represent tangible objects that can be perceived with our senses, abstract nouns represent intangible things such as emotions, thoughts, or characteristics.
