Solution

The correct option is B Collection
The suitable collective noun used for 'coins and stamps' in the given sentence is 'collection'. It is something which the subject, 'He' has possibly collected over a period of time. Hence option B is incorrect.
Option A is incorrect as 'package' is not a collective noun.
Option C is incorrect as 'basket' is used as a collective noun to denote a lot of fruits, for example, plums.
Option D is incorrect as 'group' is normally a general term used to represent nouns. It is used as a collective noun for particular nouns like guinea pigs, islands and people; however not for 'coins and stamps'.
