Correct Answer:

Viceroy:Vicereine

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Viceroy:Vicereine

The correct pair of masculine and feminine gender is Viceroy:Vicereine.

The word viceroy is a masculine noun that refers to a male ruler who represents a monarch in a colony or province. The word vicereine is a feminine noun that refers to a female ruler who represents a monarch in a colony or province.

The other options are incorrect.

  • Other options are incorrect because:

    • Option 1: "Stag" (male) should pair with "Hind" (female), not "Handess."
    • Option 2: "Chairman" (male) should pair with "Chairwoman" (female), not "Chairwomen."
    • Option 3: "Gander" (male) should pair with "Goose" (female), not "Geese" (which is the plural of goose).
