Final answer:
Gullah is the language created by enslaved people in South Carolina by combining elements from various African languages to communicate with each other. Therefore, the correct option is D. Gullah.
Step-by-step explanation:
In colonial America, enslaved people from different parts of Africa spoke various languages and, in South Carolina, they created Gullah, a new language by combining elements from many African languages to communicate. Gullah is an English-based creole which emerged in the Lowcountry, particularly on the sea islands where it developed due to the enslaved Africans greatly outnumbering whites on colonial plantations.
Enslaved Africans in South Carolina were from regions including West Central Africa, and over time, economics prioritized the importation of Africans skilled in cultivation and processing of crops like indigo and rice, leading to a large African population that influenced local culture and language, giving rise to what is known today as the Gullah-Geechee people.
