d.
Both languages have borrowed words from one another and continue to do so.
- English → Spanish examples: fútbol, béisbol, sándwich, marketing, internet, club, parking/parquear (in some varieties).
- Spanish → English examples: canyon (cañón), patio, rodeo, sombrero, ranch, taco, burrito, siesta, adobe, guerrilla.
Borrowing is ongoing (especially technology and culture), so the other options are incorrect.
