Solution
The correct option is C Definite Numeral Adjective
Option A is incorrect because it is used to express the kind or quality of a noun and here, the number 'three' does not denote the quality of the noun 'figs'. Option B is incorrect because an Adjective of Quantity answers the question 'how much' of the noun and does not give an exact number, here we have the exact number 'three'. Definite Numeral Adjectives tell us the exact number of the noun ('three', 'figs') they answer the question 'how many'hence option C is correct. Option D is incorrect because Indefinite Numeral Adjectives denote an unspecified amount of the noun and the adjective 'three' is a definite number.
