Solution

The correct option is D beauty
The abstract noun form of the adjective, 'beautiful' is 'beauty'. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Options A & D are incorrect as there is no word such as 'beautifulness' or 'beautancy' in the English language. These don't carry any meaning.
Option C: The word, 'beatific' is an adjective which means 'appearing happy or calm'. As this meaning is different from the word, 'beauty', this option is incorrect.
