In Serbian language and literature, which sound change explains why 'zelen' + '-bać' produces 'zelembać'?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Jednačenje po mestu izgovora

  1. Step 1: Before bilabials /b/ and /p/, the dental nasal /n/ assimilates in place of articulation to become bilabial nasal /m/. Answer: Jednačenje po mestu izgovora. Why not the others: the alternative options do not accurately identify the author, work, historical literary period, or grammatical definition under standard Serbian language and literature curricula.
