From a sociolinguistic perspective, the divergence between Standard British English (BrE) and Standard American English (AmE) involves more than just lexical differences (e.g., 'lorry' vs. 'truck'). Phonological features, such as rhoticity, often serve as key markers of identity and are subject to social evaluation. Which of the following phonological features is correctly associated with its respective standard variety and its sociolinguistic significance?

Alternativa A:
Rhoticity (the pronunciation of /r/ in all positions) is the prestigious norm in BrE, especially in Received Pronunciation (RP), while AmE is predominantly non-rhotic.
Alternativa B:
The 'cot-caught' merger, where the vowels in words like 'cot' and 'caught' are pronounced identically, is a defining feature of Received Pronunciation (RP) in Britain.
Alternativa C:
Flapping, the process where /t/ and /d/ are pronounced as a voiced flap [ɾ] between vowels (e.g., 'butter'), is a widespread feature of Standard American English but is stigmatized and absent in Received Pronunciation.
Alternativa D:
H-dropping (omitting the initial /h/ in words like 'house') is a feature of high-prestige accents in both AmE and BrE.
Alternativa E:
The 'trap-bath' split, where the vowel in words like 'bath' and 'path' is pronounced with a long /ɑː/ vowel, is a key characteristic of General American pronunciation.
