Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Basque does have their official language Basque (although endangered)

B. They had visited Spain approximately 5 years ago

C. Basques are indigenous to, and primarily inhabit, an area traditionally known as the Basque Country (Basque: Euskal Herria) — a region that is located around the western end of the Pyrenees on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and straddles parts of north-central Spain and south-western France.

D. They have worked hard to preserve themselves and are giving efforts to revive their language so this is the correct answer
