   AColoquiulBColloquialCColloquailDColloquail
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) Colloquial

   Meaning: colloquial = used in ordinary, informal conversation *(बोलचाल का, आम बोली का)*.
   Everyday local speech is what makes the characters *feel very authentic to the region*.
   
   Build the spelling.
   col + lo + qui + al
   C-o-l-l-o-q-u-i-a-l — double l, then -quial (i before a).
   
   Why the others are wrong.
   #B Coloquiul — single l, and the ending *-iul* should be -ial.
   #B Colloquail (options 3 and 4 are printed identically) — swaps the last two vowels; the ending is -ial, not *-ail*.
   
   Answer: Colloquial
   
   *Colloquial comes from Latin colloquium, "conversation" — co(l) + loqui, "to speak", the same root as eloquent.*

Examples

• “The novel uses colloquial language to sound realistic.”
