- BMon-Khmer branch of Austro-Asiatic sub-family
- CNorth Assam branch of Sino-Tibetan family
- DAssam-Myanmari branch of Sino-Tibetan family
Explanation
Khasi, spoken in Meghalaya, belongs to the Austro-Asiatic language family, specifically its Mon-Khmer branch (it is the northernmost Mon-Khmer language). The Munda branch of Austro-Asiatic covers languages like Santali and Mundari, while the Sino-Tibetan options belong to an entirely different family. Hence the Mon-Khmer branch is correct.
