ram is my best friend

d. Ram is My best friend!

Answer 1

Hint: Punctuation is the use of certain marks to clarify meaning of written material by grouping words grammatically into sentences and clauses and phrases.

Complete step by step solution:
In the given question, the right option will have a sentence that is correctly punctuated.

Let us analyze the options given to us in this question:
> Option (a.), 'Ram is my best friend?', is not correct as it ends with a question mark. The given sentence is a declarative statement and not a question, hence it should end with a full-stop instead.

> Option (b.), ‘ram is my best friend.', does not start with a capital letter.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as every correctly punctuated sentence starts with a capital letter.

> Option (c.), ‘Ram is my best friend.', includes all the correct punctuations.
Therefore, option (c.) is correct.

> Option (d.), ‘Ram is My best friend!', capitalizes the ‘m’ in ‘My’.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as personal pronouns do not start with capital letters unless they are the first words in sentences.

S, the correct answer is option C

Note: In such a question, you should always first punctuate the sentence yourself and then check which of the options matches your answer.
