    B). There are three official languages - English, Maori, and New Zealand Sign Language.

    Explanation:

    The second options assert an appropriate claim regarding the languages used or spoken in New Zealand. It correctly states that New Zealand has three official languages namely: 'English along with Maori and New Zealand sign language.' English is the first dominant and de facto language in the country as the majority of the population (96.1 percent) speaks and uses it for various purposes while the second most spoken language is Maori which is spoken by around 3.7 percent population. The third official language is 'New Zealand sign language' which is the predominant language of the deaf community and used for their legal proceedings. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
