In the sentence I wanna go home, wanna is a contracted form of ....... .
Answer: A
Wanna is a contraction of want to.
In informal speech, want to is reduced to wanna: 'I want to go home' becomes 'I wanna go home'. Linguists study it because the contraction is blocked when something intervenes between want and to, as in 'Who do you want to win?', which cannot become 'Who do you wanna win?'.
That is why want him to and want him not to cannot be contracted to wanna, and do not want to would contract to don't wanna, not wanna.
