The correct answer is B. Burger

Step-by-step explanation:

In linguistics which is the field that studies language, there are multiple approaches or perspective including structural linguistics. This perspective in linguistics analyzes language based on different levels or parts such as phonemes, sentences, words, morphemes, etc. as structural linguistics believe language is a complex structure that can be studied by analyzing its parts.

Relevant structural linguistics include Edward Sapir who was one of the pioneers in structural linguistic along with Leonard Bloomfield and Charles Carpenter Fries who applied this approach to language teaching. However, Herald Burger did not belong to structural linguistics as he focused on lexicology and on linguistics as a general field but no ton structural perspective.
