Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D (Yamuna)

'यमुना' नदी का नाम होने के कारण स्त्रीलिंग शब्द है। रत्नों के नाम (हीरा), धातुओं के नाम (पीतल), अस्त्र तथा भाववाचक संज्ञा (लड़कपन) पुल्लिंग शब्द हैं।

'Yamuna' is a river name and is grammatically feminine. Gems ('Heera'), metals ('Peetal'), weapons ('Astra'), and abstract nouns ending in '-pan' ('Ladakpan') are masculine.
