    Correct Answer
    D. British, British, international and American English.
    Explanation
    The given answer is British, British, international and American English. This is because the terms "number plate" and "windscreen" are commonly used in British English, while "blinker" is an American English term for the same car part known as "indicator" in British English. The term "trunk" refers to the rear storage compartment of a car, and is predominantly used in American English, whereas in British English it is referred to as the "boot". Therefore, the order in which the terms are listed corresponds to the respective English variations.
