Correct answer
Explanation
A Joint Venture account is a Nominal account because it records gains, losses, and expenses related to a temporary business venture. It captures the profit/loss outcome of the joint venture, similar to how Profit and Loss account works. It doesn't represent an asset (Real) or a person (Personal) - it measures the venture's financial result.
