Answer:

The correct answer is 'they indicate state of being'.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four moods in English:

Imperative: for instructions or commands. (Get up!)

Indicative: for factual information. (Cats have four legs)

Interrogative: for questioning. (Are you sure?)

Subjunctive: for cause-result. (If you were a millionaire, what would you do?)

All four moods are used to indicate reality, the state of being of the utterances whether conversation or narration.

English verbs have four moods: indicative, imperative, subjunctive, and infinitive. Mood is the form of the verb that shows the mode or manner in which a thought is expressed.
Keeping that in mind, the correct answer should be the last one: Conveys the mood of the person speaking.
Hope I helped!
