Answer: Choice D

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The dictionary is a useful tool here to trace word origins. Under the definitions should be a section that talks about the etymology of the word. This traces the word back through time (starting with the most recent and working back in time).

Under the entry for "cousin", it should mention Anglo French and Old French.
