The answer is d. Dialect is when a language belongs to a particular form or group. The other answers are in modern English but, the last answer has a more older English answer from back in the day. You know that by the use of the words "Tha's" and "an'".

D. A dialect is sort of like a style of language. A,B,C would be like a regular American person talking. The person who is talking in D would be like a Texan with a strong Texan accent/dialect.

The correct answer is D, which is an example of dialect due to its use of non-standard English expressions like 'tha's' and 'browt'. This line reflects a specific regional speech pattern, differentiating it from the other options. The line captures the essence of a particular way of speaking unique to a group or area.
