Sure! The question and the options provided are in Spanish. The phrase "pilar, ¡me gusta mucho tu cadena nueva!" translates to "Pilar, I really like your new necklace!" The second part of the conversation is "Gracias. ¡_____ de oro!" which means "Thank you. It's gold!"

Now, let's go through the options and see how they fit in the blank:

a. son - This option means "are" in Spanish. However, it doesn't fit in the blank because it doesn't make sense to say "It are gold."

b. fue - This option means "was" in Spanish. While it's grammatically correct, it doesn't fit the context of the conversation. Pilar is referring to her new necklace in the present tense, so it's unlikely that she would say "it was gold."

c. era - This option means "was" or "used to be" in Spanish. While it's also grammatically correct, it implies that the necklace used to be gold but no longer is. Since Pilar is referring to her new necklace, it would be more appropriate to use the present tense.

d. es - This option means "is" in Spanish. It fits perfectly in the blank as it matches the context of the conversation. Pilar is expressing that her new necklace is gold, so saying "¡es de oro!" makes sense.

Therefore, the correct answer is d. es.
