I almost /100% sure believe that the answer is D
The answer is C. Mrs. Sue was wrong. I just took the quiz and I know that it's C. It's the only answer you'll get credit for.

It's C i just took the test... im a "100% sure" its C
gang gang i come and take the answers without learning
The real answer is c i just did the test
I know for a fact that it is b or c and I think c. By the way wiki is a bad place to look for information cause it is very often false
Can we just take a moment to appreciate all of the people that this site has helped and will eventually help more students. So I just want to say thank you. Because without this site my grades would most likely be D's and F's. So thank you so much. :)
