Concrete nouns are nouns which can be experienced through one/more of our five senses viz. sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste.

Option A: The word "miss" is a verb and not a noun. Hence, this is not the correct answer.

Option B: The word "often" is an adverb which qualifies/ defines the verb "miss". Hence, this is not the correct answer.

Option C: The word "childhood" refers to a stage of life and it is an abstract noun. It cannot be seen/ smelt/ heard/ touched/ tasted. Hence, this is not the correct answer.

Option D: The word "friends" is a common noun which refers to a group of people. We can see friends. Hence, this is a concrete noun. This is the correct answer.
