correct answer : b)
Explanation:
The word ‘gules’ means the color red in heraldry. In option B, ‘gules’ acts as a homonym, incorrectly used in place of ‘jus’ or another similar sounding word in a culinary context. Thus, option B uses the homonym structure.
‘Gules’ का अर्थ हेरलड्री में लाल रंग है। विकल्प B में, इसे एक अलग संदर्भ (homonym) में प्रयुक्त किया गया है, जहाँ यह एक व्यंजन के घटक की तरह उपयोग हुआ है। अतः विकल्प B सही है।
