Answer:

First option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this sentence (Brian wants a...) we see an example of a declarative sentence. It receives that name because something is stated or declared in those sentences, and a period is used at the end of them. Exclamatory sentences also include a statement but with excitement or emotion and the exclamation mark (!) is used at the end of the sentence. An imperative sentence gives a command or advice, or makes a request, and it is formed by the verb in simple form plus complements (in the example, the verb is in present). Finally, an interrogative sentence is used to ask questions, usually indicated by a question mark (?).
