Answer:

B. Empire State Building

Explanation:

In English language, a noun can be defined as a word used to refer to a person, place, animal, idea, feeling or thing. Therefore, a noun is considered to be a naming word.

There are four (4) major types of nouns and these includes;

I. Abstract nouns.

II. Collective nouns.

III. Common nouns.

IV. Proper nouns.

A proper noun can be defined as a specific name used to refer only to a particular thing, place, or person such as America, Europe, London, Joseph, Earth, Microsoft, Empire State Building, O2 Arena, etc.

As a rule of thumb, all proper nouns must begin with a capital letter irrespective of where they are placed in a sentence. Therefore, when you use a proper noun, you should ensure you start it with a capital letter.

In all honesty, I am really not a fan of heights, so the Empire State Building is not a big thrill for me.
