I disagree.
it should actually be D from my perspective.
i have studied many languages and first of all its not universal in all languages, students who know about it will look for this information however the ones who don't know will not look and struggle, its why we have a for of english known as pigeon english. its not a good term but people who talk like this have a tendency to miss words when they try to communicate.
the teacher MUST know this too because if they do not then how can they teach properly .
