Answer: (B)

husband

Nominative case is the "subject" of the sentence i.e the person/ thing that carries out the verb/ action in the sentence.

Option A: The word "my" is a possessive pronoun. It is not a noun.

Option B: The word "husband" performs the action of "brought" Hence, this word is in the nominative case. Correct answer is: Option B.

Option C: The word "puppy" is the direct object. Hence, it is in objective/ accusative case.

Option D: The word "returned" is verb, not a noun.
