Answer (2)
B) Logic is easily understood.
Logic is the abstract noun in the given sentences. By which, logic is the philosophical understanding of valid reasoning.

The sentence that contains an abstract noun is B: 'Logic is easily understood,' where 'Logic' represents an intangible concept. The other options consist of concrete nouns. Therefore, abstract nouns like 'logic' refer to ideas that cannot be perceived with the senses.
