Answer 3

your both wrong!! it would be nice if you had a reason behind your answer. For example my answer is for this particular question is B. Correlative.. Why?

because correlative conjunctions are sort of like tag-team conjunctions. They come in pairs, and you have to use both of them in different places in a sentence to make them work. They get their name from the fact that they work together (co-) and relate one sentence element to another. Correlative conjunctions include pairs like “both/and,” “whether/or,” “either/or,” “neither/nor,” “not/but” and “not only/but also.”

For example and because i am a nice guy, correlative conjunction will look something like this.
I want either the cheesecake or the frozen hot chocolate
I’ll have both the cheesecake and the frozen hot chocolate
I didn’t know whether you’d want the cheesecake or the frozen hot chocolate, so I got you both.

look familiar??
