Correct Answer:
A. Synchronic Linguistics
Explanation:
The correct answer is Synchronic Linguistics. This branch of linguistics focuses on the study of a language at a specific point in time, examining its structure and usage without considering its historical development. In contrast, diachronic linguistics investigates how languages evolve over time. Therefore, synchronic linguistics is the appropriate field for analyzing how a particular group of people uses language during a specific period.
