The predicate nominative is the noun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject. I believe "beautiful" is predicate nominative.

The correct answer is A. predicate adjective. 
"Beautiful" is an adjective and always will be. Since it is not a noun, it cannot even qualify to be a predicate nominative, which is the noun part of the predicate
