Which term refers to specific names of people, places, or organizations?

• A. Proper Noun
• B. Comma
• C. Investigative Work
• D. Fingerprint Classification Systems

Answer: (A)

Names that identify particular people, places, or organizations are called proper nouns. They point to a specific item in the world rather than a general class, and they are usually capitalized to signal that uniqueness. For example, Albert Einstein names one exact person, New York City names a specific place, and Harvard University names a specific organization.

The other options don’t fit because they refer to punctuation, generic terms, or tools rather than specific names. A comma is a punctuation mark, Investigative Work is a general phrase, and Fingerprint Classification Systems denote methods or categories, not names of particular entities.
