Answer 1

The correct answer is Conjunction.

Key Points

A conjunction is a word that joins two words, phrases, or sentences to make them one.
Example: You and your friends are liked by all.
The underlined word 'and' joins two phrases to make them a single sentence so it is called the Conjunction.
As we have to identify which part of speech the word belongs to, we need to know the significance of parts of speech.
Parts of speech:
- A category to which a word is assigned in accordance with its syntactic functions.
- In English, the main parts of speech are noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction and interjection.
Let's understand the definitions of parts of speech given in options with examples:

Parts of speech	Function	Example
Noun	Naming people, places, things, feelings etc.	Dolly presented me with a new dress. It is her love for me.
Verb	It expresses the action done in the sentence	Your hard work is appreciable. I love you.
Preposition	It relates the noun or pronoun in the sentence with the other words of the sentence.	Come into the room. Put the book on the shelf.
Conjunction	It joins two words, two phrase or two sentences.	Khushi is a nice girl and she loves her mom.

The word 'and' joins two phrases and joins them in a sentence. So it is classified as a Conjunction.
