Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The words, 'weak', 'strong', 'noble' and 'wicked' are adjectives. However, they are also sometimes used as nouns to refer to the entire class of people who are 'weak', 'strong', 'noble' and 'wicked' respectively. Hence, the definite article, 'the' is used before both these nouns.
