Answer:

Among the options given on the question the correct answer is option B.

Sir is an honorary title, whereas titles like Baron are inherited.

Knighthood is the highest reward for a non royal person. If any person contribute greatly in any sector he can be awarded as the Knighthood.But the son or daughter of a Knighthood holder can not inherit the title.
