A is true.
Explanation: All natural languages have a system of rules (grammar/syntax, phonology, morphology) that govern how sentences are formed. B is misleading because while language is structured, it does not rigidly dictate which words can represent ideas—word meanings are conventional and often arbitrary. C is false — every language has structure and rules, not just half. D is false — the structure of language enables and organizes expression; it does not exist to prevent creativity in making new phrases.
