This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Speaking slowly, loudly, and emphasizing the key words, the waitress asked her elderly patron, "Would you rather have a slice of lemon pie or pecan pie, dear?" What is the waitress demonstrating with this speech style?

A. common courtesy

B. stereotype threat

C. elderspeak

D. respect for the elderly

Answer:

The correct answer is letter C. elderspeak.

Explanation:

Elderspeak is a speech style characterized by adjustments such as shortening sentences, speaking louder and/or more slowly, using less complex vocabulary etc. Those adaptations are made by younger people when communicating with older adults. Such behavior derives from the stereotype that older people have reduced cognitive abilities.
