Explanation

Concrete nouns are the type of nouns that can be perceived by the five senses. They refer to
physical objects that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. In this case, the nouns
“table,” “bird,” “school,” and “beach” can all be perceived by the five senses, making them
concrete nouns. Proper nouns refer to specific names of people, places, or things and are not
relevant to the question. Collective nouns refer to a group or collection of things, which is also
not applicable here. Therefore, the correct answer is concrete.
