The correct answer is A) because it directly addresses the components that influence a child's conversational skills: processing capacity (how well they can understand and process information), the demands being made on this capacity (the complexity and nature of the conversation), and their efficiency in using their processing capacity (how effectively they can engage in conversation given their processing abilities).
