Polygenesis is the theory that studies the origins of

  • A.Sociolinguistic variations in the languages
  • B.Regional and social dialect
  • C.Pidgins and creoles
  • D.Styles and Register in the languages

Answer: C

Polygenesis is the theory that pidgins and creoles arose independently in different places, as against monogenesis, which traces them all to a single origin such as a Portuguese-based pidgin. So polygenesis studies the origins of pidgins and creoles.

It does not concern sociolinguistic variation in general, regional and social dialects or styles and registers, although those also belong to sociolinguistics. Option C is the key.
