Answer 1

The correct answer is "notable."

Key Points

The word "noticeable" means able to be noticed or seen. (जो सहज ही दिखाई पड़े या जिस पर सहज ही ध्यान जाए, स्‍पष्‍ट या ध्यानाकर्षक)
- Example: The scar from the accident was hardly noticeable.
"Notable" means worthy of attention or remarkable. ((पर्याप्त रोचक या महत्वपूर्ण होने के कारण) ध्यान देने योग्‍य)
- Example: The area is notable for its wildlife.
The correct word choice depends on the intended meaning of the sentence.
In this case, "notable" is a better fit because it implies that the people present were important or noteworthy.
The correct answer is Option 4.

Additional Information

"Notworthy" is not a word in standard English. The correct spelling is "noteworthy."
"Celebrity" refers specifically to someone who is famous or well-known (कोई प्रख्‍यात व्‍यक्ति), whereas "notable" can apply to anyone who is noteworthy for any reason.
