B. The president can establish a direct connection with people.
I think that the key point here is the "easily reproducible" - because all of them can be scientific questions (even a! it could tell us about about the human psyche!)
but d. is the best answer for a reproducible experiment. B could also make a good experiment, but it would be too expensive to be easily reproducible. C is calling for a more complex analysis that is too complex for an experiment. And a would require more questionnaires than experiments

The four focuses listed by Ahearn are: multifunctionality, practice, linguistic ideology and indexicality. By multifunctionality it should be understood that each speech act is composed of six constitutive factors, with a specific function for each one (expressive, conative, referential, poetic, phthalic and metalinguistic).
The linguistic ideology allows to connect the micro level with the macro level. It is the set of beliefs and assessments that have about language as a whole, about some languages, about its use and how to use it.
The indexicality of language refers to the existence of words that act as particular markers: context, power, equality-inequality. This indexical character allows to show the referential relationship, such as the one between an arrow and what it indicates.
