• D. Juice

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Wine

The Latin word "vinum" gave rise to the English word "wine."

It also influenced words like vineyard (a place where grapes for wine are grown) and vintage (referring to the year a wine was produced). The word "vinum" is the root of many wine-related words in Romance languages, such as vin (French), vino (Spanish/Italian), and wein (German).
