The correct answer is C. The level and type of impairment determine the severity and location of the injury.

Explanation:

Language impairment refers to different disorders related to understanding or using language, these can appear in infancy as children do not develop the use of language normally, but also can be acquired due to acquired hearing impairment or brain damage. In the case of brain damage, it has been found the type of impairment directly depends on the zone of the injury and the severity of it.

For example, receptive aphasia (impairment in language understanding) occurs mainly as a zone called Wecknicke's area is damage or expressive aphasia (impairment in language expression) occurs due to damage in the Broca's area. According to this, it can be concluded the relationship between brain damage and language impairment is that "the level and type of impairment determine the severity and location of the injury".
