B) understanding the speech of others; speak normally

Answer: A
Rationale: Although many people with damage to Broca's area can still speak, doing so is obviously very difficult for them. As a result, their speech is limited to a series of single words intertwined with filled pauses. Importantly, their ability to understand language is generally fairly good, although sentences with complicated syntax may be problematic.
