I believe C would be the correct answer because If you look back at the modern age I don't see many people using that. My question is, did you mean to say doth or both?

Answer: To adapt this excerpt for a modern audience, the word that most needs updating is C. doth.

Explanation: The word "doth" is an archaic form of conjugating the verb "do" into the third person singular of the present tense. In that way, "doth" was a verb form used in the past. In order to adapt the excerpt provided for a modern audience, the word "doth" should be replaced with "does", which is the form that we use today to conjugate the verb "do" into the third person singular of the present tense.
