C.
Chomsky
D.
Bruner

Solution:

Noam Chomsky, known as the father of modern linguistics, has made a crucial contribution in the field of linguistics. He has opined that language has a strong biological basis, with children biologically prepared to learn a language at a certain time and in a certain way. Chomsky proposed the assumption that 'Human beings are born with the capacity to acquire language'. He has also proposed 'Language Acquisition Theory' that is primarily related to language development.According to Chomsky, an innate capacity to acquire language is the result of our uniquely human biological inheritance which is called the 'Language Acquisition Device'.Language acquisition device is a hypothetical tool in children's brain that makes them able to:acquire and produce language.learn and assimilate the language easily.analyze language and extract basic rules.encode the grammatical structure of language.Hence, it could be concluded that 'Human beings are born with the capacity to acquire language' this statement is related to Chomsky.Additional Information According to Vygotsky children learn language through social interaction with peers and adults.Piaget's theory on language development suggests that language is learnt through assimilation and accommodation.Bruner emphasized the importance of understanding and the need for active learning as the basis for true understanding, and the value of reasoning in learning.
