Explanation
'Statue' names a thing and is the head of the subject noun phrase 'The wonderful statue of the leader'. The word 'wonderful' is the adjective modifying it, which confirms that 'statue' itself functions as a noun. It is not merely an 'object' — that labels a syntactic role, and here the word is actually the subject — nor is the single word itself a whole 'noun phrase'. Hence (D) Noun is correct.
