Explanation:

Effective language use in speaking requires considering the audience's familiarity with terminology. Using niche basketball jargon like "zone defense" and "pick and roll" assumes the speech class audience understands these terms, which is not a safe or appropriate assumption for a general speech audience. Deshari failed to prioritize audience-appropriate language.

Answer:

C. She did not use language appropriate to the audience.
