d. underextension
please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Code - switching refers to the alternation between languages in a conversation. Bilingualism is the ability to speak two languages. Overextension and underextension are related to language acquisition errors (e.g., overextension is using a word too broadly like calling all four - legged animals "dog", underextension is using a word too narrowly). Since the question is about alternating between languages in a conversation, code - switching is the correct term.

Answer:

C. code switching
