Verified Answer :

A.Usted.......... take it from your hispanic friend...

Right answer: Usted


Explanation:

The 2nd person in singular you has two forms of speaking in Spanish (Castilian):


Tú


It is used with friends, with relatives and in informal situations


Usted


It is used with people in formal situations: strangers, with elderly people, with people with a degree, such as Dr. or Dra., teacher, Miss, Mr, Mrs.


Therefore, the answer is A.


The other options are incorrect because:

él (he) is the  3rd person in singular

tú (you) is the informal of the 2nd person in singular (as explained above)

ustedes (you) is the 2nd person in plural
