A Correct answer
Explanation

'Accusative' is a noun naming a grammatical case (like 'nominative', 'dative'). In the sentence, 'him' is indeed a pronoun in the accusative case, but the bold word 'accusative' itself functions as a noun (the name of the case). The answer key correctly identifies the part of speech of the bold word.
