Answer:

B. Norse has LEAST influenced the development of modern English

Step-by-step explanation:

Old Norse was a north Germanic language. This language was vastly spoken by the inhabitants of Scandinavia from the 9th to the 13th century. The language was divided into three dialects: Old West Norse, Old East Norse, and Old Gutnish. The modern descendants of the Old West Norse dialect are the West Scandinavian languages of Icelandic, Faroese, Norwegian and the extinct Norn language of Orkney and Shetland.
