Correct Answer: china


Solution : The correct option is the second option.

China refers to fine porcelain or ceramic ware that is typically fragile and easily breakable. Given the context of a loud noise followed by breaking sounds, "china" fits well, implying that something fragile like a piece of ceramic or porcelain was broken.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Heart: The organ that pumps blood in the body.
  • Atrocity: A brutal or cruel act.
  • Tyre: The rubber covering the wheel of a vehicle.

Therefore, the correct answer is china.
