A proper noun is described as the noun that denotes a particular person, organization, place, animal, etc. while a common noun denotes a generic name of any member of a class, category, etc. The above sentence replaces the proper noun with a common noun(general name 'my sister' instead of being particular 'Sid') and a common noun with a proper noun(by naming the specific sister 'Sid' who is being talked about in the sentence). Thus, options B and D are the correct answers.
