Choose the correct option to form a meaningful sentence:-

The government honoured the _____ to encourage their skills.

artisans

The correct answer is Option (4) → artisans

• Artisans (Noun) refers to skilled craftspeople who make things, especially by hand.

• The phrase "to encourage their skills" specifically refers to the abilities of people, making "artisans" the correct fit.

• Artist is singular, which doesn't fit the collective nature implied by "their skills."

• Artform and art are things, not people, and therefore cannot be honoured "to encourage their skills."
