Solution
The noun is a name of a person, place or a thing. The adjective modifies or describes the noun. The word 'reverence' is a noun. Some words can be changed into an adjective by adding suffix - able at the end of the word. Thus, the adjective form of the given word is 'reverable'. Here, reverable is made from the verb 'revere'.
The given sentence would be completed by using an adjective 'reverable' which is modifying the noun in the sentence.
Hence, option A is the correct answer. Options B, C, and C are incorrect answers.
