Extreme cases of borrowing are
Answer: A
The key takes pidgins as the extreme cases of borrowing. A pidgin takes most of its vocabulary from one or more lexifier languages and has a simplified grammar, so it can be seen as the extreme point of the borrowing scale in contact situations (Thomason and Kaufman's view of the scale of contact).
Creoles are nativised pidgins with expanded structure, creoloids are languages that resemble creoles without a pidgin ancestry, and the acrolect is the prestigious variety at the top of a creole continuum. They are not the extreme cases of borrowing according to the key.
