    A.

    B.

    C.

    and

    D.

    for

    Correct option is A


    Correct option: (a) yet
    Meaning & usage (in detail):
    yet = but/however; shows contrast between two ideas (Hindi: फिर भी / लेकिन)
    • Sentence meaning: Heard melodies are sweet, but unheard melodies are even sweeter.
    Correct sentence: Heard melodies are sweet yet those unheard are sweeter.
    Grammatical rule (English):
    yet is a coordinating conjunction used to show contrast, similar to but.
    व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
    • “yet” एक conjunction है जो विरोध/contrast दिखाता है (but की तरह)।
    Meanings of other options (in detail):
    • (b) but → लेकिन (contrast) (possible in meaning, but the given famous line commonly uses “yet”; exam key expects “yet”).
    • (c) and → और (addition; contrast नहीं)
    • (d) for → क्योंकि/क्योंकि (reason; contrast नहीं)
    Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
