Prestige most nearly means

  1. fame

  2. money

  3. popularity

  4. status

The correct answer is: fame

Prestige is commonly associated with having a high level of fame or being well-known. While money and status may come with prestige, they are not direct synonyms and do not encompass the full meaning of the word. Additionally, popularity refers more to being well-liked or preferred by a group, while prestige is more about a level of respect and admiration from others. Therefore, A is the best option that captures the true meaning of prestige.
