Answer:

D. The most common answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It won't be any of the other answers because when you use a dictionary (say, you're looking for the meaning of the word pattern or something) the first definition is always the most common one, as in the one most people know; then it is followed by the less common definitions. Hope this helped!!
