Answer: B
The keyed answer is Substantive Universal. The stem is garbled in the printed paper, so the answer rests on the key. The relevant background is that in Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965) Chomsky distinguishes substantive universals, the fixed set of categories and features out of which grammars are built, from formal universals, which concern the form of rules and of the grammar.
Formal universal (option A) is the other half of this pair, so it is the closest distractor. Universal Grammar (option C) names the whole body of innate principles rather than one kind of universal, and Universal Quantifier (option D) is a term from logic that has no place in this question. Learn the pair as substantive versus formal.
