  • D Nothing prevents you from talking to her
  • E A & D
jamb 1982english-language

The correct answer is E. A & D

The underlined part says "You can talk to her". 

When something says "you can", that means it is allowed or permitted. 

So the answers that closest match this meaning are A and D - "You are permitted to talk to her" and "Nothing prevents you from talking to her". 

Since both A and D capture the meaning, the right answer is E!
