   AvolunteerBphilanthropistCprophetDmartyr
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: D) martyr

   Answer: d) martyr
   Explanation:
   The phrase "person who had died for a noble cause" refers to someone who sacrifices their life for a belief, country, or noble purpose.
   • Martyr = a person who dies or suffers greatly for a noble cause, belief, or principle (बलिदानी, शहीद) → Correct one-word substitute
   Why other options are incorrect:
   • Volunteer = one who offers to do something willingly (स्वयंसेवक) → doesn't imply death or sacrifice
   • Philanthropist = a person who gives money or help to others generously (परोपकारी) → not necessarily someone who died
   • Prophet = a religious messenger or predictor (भविष्यवक्ता या पैग़ंबर) → unrelated
   Only "martyr" correctly fits the meaning of the given phrase.

   Answer: B) (b) Martyr

   The correct answer is Option 2: Martyr.
   A 'Martyr' is a person who suffers or dies for a cause, belief, or principle — exactly matching the given definition.
   Why the other options are wrong:
   - Soldier: is a person who serves in an army; a soldier may risk their life but does not necessarily die for a cause by definition.
   - Volunteer: is a person who freely offers time or labor; the definition does not imply sacrificing one's life.
   - Patriot: is a person who loves and strongly supports their country; patriotism does not necessarily involve sacrificing one's life.
