Answer 1

Answer:

A. Gothic, Scandinavian and West Germanic

Primitive Germanic (also called Proto-Germanic) eventually split into three main branches:

• East Germanic: represented by Gothic (now extinct)

• North Germanic (Scandinavian): includes Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic

• West Germanic: includes English, German, Dutch, and others
