Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. sense.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. sense- the ability to think or act in a reasonable or sensible way; good judgement.
  2. feeling- something that you feel in your mind or body.
  3. amount- the amount of something is how much of it there is; a quantity of something.
  4. fund- a sum of money that is collected for a particular purpose.

"Sense" which means "the ability to think or act in a reasonable or sensible way; good judgement" fits the context appropriately.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
