Solution

The correct options are
C Lady
D Woman

The answers to the given sentence are Option B, Lady and option D, Woman.

As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun. The male gender noun mentioned in the sentence is ‘gentleman’, a term used for a man possessing good qualities with regards to behaviour and work. The word which forms the word’s feminine counter part is Option B, lady and Option D, Woman, which mean the same.

There is no specific term for a lady who is gentle in nature, and thus the other options are to be considered wrong.

Hence, Option B, Lady and Option D, Woman are the correct answers for the given sentence.
