Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

These two differ only because of the wording, the second one seems formal than the first one. Just by evaluating 3 of the answer choices. C seemed the most fitting.

(c) The speakers have different dialects.

Step-by-step explanation:

In both sentences, the message is same but the dialect of the speakers is different. Dialect is a particular form of a language which is peculiar to a specific region or a social group.

The words used in the first sentence are informal such as, "Howdy, ya'll" and "momma". On the other hand, second sentence is formal e.g. "Greetings", "tarry" etc.
