Answer 1

Hint: Punctuation are marks used in writing to separate sentences and different elements of sentences so that it clarifies the meaning. Full stop, comma, brackets etc are some punctuation marks.

Complete answer:
- In English grammar, there are 14 punctuation marks that are commonly used. Such as: exclamation point, comma, question marks, colon, hyphen, semicolon, parentheses, dash, brackets, apostrophe, braces, quotation marks, period and ellipsis.
- In English, full stops and capital letters, commas, question marks, semicolons and colons, quotation marks and exclamation marks are the most common punctuation marks. We use pauses and the tone of the voice in speaking to make clear what we mean. In writing, punctuation plays a similar function, making it simpler to read. Both the rules and conventions consist of punctuation. There are rules of punctuation that must be followed, but there are also conventions of punctuation that offer more flexibility to authors.
- The first word of a sentence is always capitalised, according to general rule. Capitals are used in a sentence with all proper nouns. Likewise, it is also important to capitalise on the names of religions and religious concepts. God, Buddha, Christianity, etc, for instance. Therefore, the correct answer is ‘Muslims revere the Prophet who was born in Mecca.’ i.e. option D.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘D'.

Note: While writing, we should always be careful about punctuation marks. A misplace of punctuation marks can change the meaning of a sentence.
