C Correct answer
Explanation

'The girl' is correct because the speaker is referring to a specific, identifiable person - the one sitting there. When we point out someone particular in context (someone both speaker and listener can see or know), we use the definite article 'the.' 'A girl' would refer to any unspecified girl.
