Answer:

The correct answer is C - English

Step-by-step explanation:

English is the language that belongs to the Germanic branch of Indo-European. It actually belongs to the West Germanic banch, which also includes Dutch, Afrikaans, German and a few other languages.

The other options - French, Italian, and Spanish are actually Latin or Romance languages because they are in fact derived from Vulgar Latin, which was the language of the Roman Empire.
