A collective noun is a kind of noun that denotes a collection of things or a group of individuals. The sentence that contains a collective noun is: The legislature met in secret session. The correct answer is option d. The collective noun in this sentence is the word "legislature". Legislature refers to the group who make laws.
The way you know the subject of the sentence is plural is because it takes a plural verb. You can see that the subject of the sentence is <em>the ova </em>(plural for of Latin word <em>ovum</em>, <em />meaning egg cell), and the verb it takes is <em>undergo </em>(plural)<em>, </em>and not <em>undergoes, </em>which would be singular.
