@ RBG Girl is 100% correct thank you 😊

You are correct! Option D, "I don't know ... I mean ... um ... the thing is ... I'm not sure," is the correctly written sentence to show hesitation. This is because the use of ellipses (...) represents pauses in speech, which effectively convey hesitation. In this option, the ellipses are placed between each phrase to indicate the hesitation. Well done!
