Correct option is A

caregiver speech.
Caregiver speech, also known as parentese or baby talk, is a modified form of adult speech that is specifically tailored to young children.

Research has shown that caregiver speech plays a crucial role in language acquisition, as it helps children to learn the sounds, patterns, and meaning of their native language.
