খ) adjective
গ) verb
ঘ) noun

ব্যাখ্যা

In this sentence, warning acts as a noun because it is the subject of the sentence and is preceded by the article 'the'.

১. It cannot be a verb here because it is not expressing an action performed by the subject.
২. Adjectives qualify nouns, but here 'warning' is the entity being talked about itself.
৩. Any gerund (verb+ing) preceded by an article and followed by a preposition often functions as a noun.

অতিরিক্ত তথ্য: The phrase "fall on deaf ears" means to be ignored.
