- Bclassical
- Chome-grown
- DNon-native language
Explanation
'Indigenous' means originating or occurring naturally in a place — 'home-grown' captures this exactly. 'Homogenous' (uniform) and 'classical' are different ideas, and 'non-native language' is the opposite of indigenous. Hence (C) home-grown is correct.
