Correct option is B
Option (b) contains an error.
The error lies in the
incorrect word order.
The correct noun phrase should be
“this pink fancy dress” instead of
“this fancy dress pink”.
In English, when multiple adjectives are used, there is a typical
order of adjectives followed—
opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose + noun.
Here, “fancy” is an
opinion adjective and “pink” is a
color adjective.
Hence,
“pink” should come after “fancy”
only if it modifies "dress" directly, i.e., “pink fancy dress” is the correct phrase.
Grammatical Rule Used:
Order of adjectives:
Opinion – fancy > Size – small, big > Age – old, new > Shape – round, square > Color – red, pink > Origin – Indian, Chinese > Material – cotton, woollen > Purpose – running (shoes), writing (desk) > Noun – main object

Example: I bought a
beautiful long red silk scarf. (opinion + size + color + material + noun)
