Question

Explanation:

Proper nouns are used to name specific people, places, or things and are capitalized. "Grandpa Joe" is a specific person's name, so it is a proper noun. Option A is incorrect as it refers to a general word (common noun), option C is wrong because it is a specific person’s name, and option D is incorrect as it is a noun, not a pronoun.

Answer:

B. It’s a proper noun.
