Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Avery's use of the Ukranian word "pecivo" instead of the English word "cookie" suggests she is drawing from her bilingual background, which relates to her bilingualism in terms of semantics. Avery did not make an error in phonology, as she used the correct pronunciation of the word. An over-extension refers to a child using a word in a broader sense than its intended meaning, which is not the case here.
