Hint: An adjective is a word that expresses an attribute of something. An adjective is the word class that qualifies nouns. For example - ‘calculating’ is an adjective in the phrase ‘the most calculating and selfish men in the community.’

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to find out which of the options given to us is an adjective that describes the noun ‘you’ when they are home.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'happy', refers to an adjective which means ‘enjoying or showing or marked by joy or pleasure.’ Therefore, option (a.) is correct.
Option (b.), ‘hardly', refers to an adverb which means ‘only a very short time before.’ Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as we need an adjective that describes the noun ‘you’.
Option (c.), ‘happily', refers to an adverb which means ‘in a joyous manner.’ Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as we need an adjective that describes the noun ‘you’.
Option (d.), ‘nicely', refers to an adverb which means ‘in a nice way.’ Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as we need an adjective that describes the noun ‘you’.

Note:
 In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of adverbs. An adverb is a word that modifies something other than a noun. An adverb is the word class that qualifies verbs or clauses.
