Caroline Mcmahon · Answer 1

The correct answer is A. plural, common, abstract, countable.

Obviously, the word purposes is plural, because it refers to more than one purpose. Since it is plural, it immediately means it is countable as well, because plural nouns are always countable. So it means that only A is correct.
