Solution

The correct option is D news
Countable nouns are those nouns which can be counted. Uncountable nouns are usually abstract ideas/ qualities/ physical objects which are not countable due to their form.

Option A: The word - "sister" is a countable noun.
Option B: The word - "me" is a pronoun.
Option C: The word- "good" is an adjective and not a noun.
Hence, options A, B and C are incorrect.
In the given sentence the word- "news" is an abstract noun which is uncountable. Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
