Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Regalia
Regalia means the special dress, medals, badges and ornaments worn at official ceremonies to show a person's rank or office. A dress with medals and ribbons worn at an official ceremony is therefore called regalia.
Example: The governor arrived at the parade in full ceremonial regalia.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: Tatters — Incorrect. Tatters are torn, ragged pieces of cloth; the word is the opposite of fine ceremonial dress.
Example: After the storm, the flag hung in tatters.
Option 3: Regality — Incorrect. Regality means the quality of being royal or kingly; it names a quality, not a dress.
Example: The old palace still has an air of regality.
Option 4: Uniform — Incorrect. A uniform is the standard dress worn by members of a group, such as students or soldiers; it need not carry medals and ribbons or be worn only at ceremonies.
Example: The students wear their school uniform every day.
