The answer to your question would be that the sentence that varies from conventional standard English is the following one: Sometimes Vaniesha is a pain in the neck, but Colby loves his little sister. That is, your answer would be C.

The selected sentence is the one that differs from conventional language because it makes use of an idiomatic expression such as "to be a pain in the neck".
