Answer:

B. Dutch

Step-by-step explanation:

lot of things in new york city are named Goethals including a bridge

Goethals is a Dutch surname originating in Flanders. It seems to be derived from Goedaels, meaning "good ale", and, equivalent to the English and German surnames Goodale and Gutbier, would have referred to a brewer.
