Verified by Toppr

Option B is the correct answer as the proper noun, 'Italy' is correctly capitalized; 'Northern' is capitalized because we capitalize directions when they refer to specific regions. The sentence also ends with a full stop.
Option A is incorrect because the sentence doesn't end with a full stop and 'northern' isn't capitalized.
Option C is incorrect because of the comma at the end of the sentence, making it incomplete as a comma signifies a pause and that the sentence is not complete yet. Also 'Northern Italy' is not correctly capitalised
Option D is incorrect because the initial letter of the word 'city' is capitalized unnecessarily as it is not a proper noun.
