Answer:

A Spanish speaker and a French speaker conduct a business transaction in English.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is correct answer because it refers to a situation where certain language is used as a mean of communication between two or more persons who have different native language. As English is used as a mean of communication between someone whose native languages are Spanish and French this is a great example of lingua franca.

All other options are not correct.
