b) That
c) Man
d) Best

Answer 1

Hint: A relative pronoun is a term for a word that makes a type of subordinate clause- often called a relative clause, adjective clause, or defining clause.

Complete answer:
 Relative pronouns or a means to conjoin modifying information about an antecedent referent in the main clause of the sentence. In the given question there is a sentence in which we have to find out the present relative pronoun. The sentence is – A happy family is the best gift that a man can have.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is Gift. It is a noun which means a thing even willingly to someone without payment; a present. It is not a relative pronoun for sure.
Option ‘b’ is That. It is a relative pronoun that is used to identify a specific person or thing observed or heard by the speaker.
Option ‘c’ is Man. It is a noun that means an adult human male. It is not a relative pronoun.
Option ‘d’ is Best. It is an adjective which means the most excellent or desirable type of quality of a particular thing.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the relative pronoun in the given sentence is – that. Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct option.

Note:
 You must know which word comes under which part of speech. All the other options are plausible distractions, and one must pay attention to it.
