Explanation
The word conversational means characteristic of ordinary spoken exchange, which is by definition informal rather than ceremonious. Informal is therefore the direct synonym, describing language used in relaxed, everyday settings. Formal is the antonym, since conversational language deliberately avoids stiff or official diction. Complex and dialogical are distractors: complexity concerns difficulty, and dialogical merely relates to dialogue without capturing the informal register. The everyday-speech sense makes informal the correct choice.
