Option A: The word "We" is a pronoun, not a noun.Option B: The word "gold" is a concrete noun. While its weight can be measured in terms of grams, due to its physical properties, it is uncountable. Hence, this is an uncountable noun. Options C and D i.e 'ornaments" and "wedding' are both countable nouns. Tip : Countable nouns can be expressed in both singular and plural form. Whereas uncountable nouns do not have plural forms. Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
