Solution

The correct option is B Herd
The name given to a collection of persons or things taken together and spoken of as one whole is a collective noun.
Option 'A' Herd is a collective noun that refers to a group of cattle.

Option 'B' and 'C' 'Shoal' and 'School' are the collective nouns that refer to a large group of fish

Option 'D' 'Hive' is a collective noun that refers to a colony of bees.
Hence option 'A' 'Herd' is the correct answer.
