Solution

The correct option is B mistress
The feminine form of the word master is mistress. The correct answer is option B.
The word mistress conveys meaning of a person with authority or control- the same as what the masculine noun master means. The word madam is a polite form of addressing a woman or a lady. Hence, this is not the feminine form of the noun master. Option C is therefore incorrect.
The words-mastererss and masterlady are incorrect usages in English. Hence, options A and D are incorrect.
