Answer : 3
The correct answer is in the third option. There are two kinds of spelling or pronunciation to state someone’s age. As we already knew that there are two kinds of reading way to read a kanji letter which is the onyoumi (chinese reading way) and kunyoumi (japanese reading way). So by the categorization of reading it is also by far affect the spelling and pronunciation. The rules also apply to japanese counter for age. There are the onyoumi and the kunyoumi version that we can use to read or to spell the Japanese counter for age.
The pronunciation of Japanese age counter for kunyoumi is ‘futatsu’and the onyoumi version is ‘nisai’.
The first option is false since futari means ‘two person’. The second option is false since the ending of it is ‘imasu’ which is a kopula to state existence of living being such as humans and animals. So, it can be translated as there are two human beings. The fourth can be translated as ‘there are two living beings’.

Thec correct answers are in the second option since it is actually the proper one in the above conversation. It is the most suitable expression which is given as the correct answer.
The correct word following いいえ (iie) which is translated as no is in the second option.
The first option, arimasen is not suitable since the expression used to define the non-existence of non-living things such as books, papers, etc.
The third option, wakarimasen is also not fit with the flow of conversation since it can be translated as ‘(I) do not understand’.
The fourth option is also incorrect, sou desu is an expression to state an agreement for the previous statement or simply just to said yes.
