D Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence here talks about the cuisine, so it's the food that is to be distinguished and not the people. When we add 'the' before any language it refers to the people and not the language i.e. the French would mean the people in France. So (A) and (B) are incorrect, (E) is incomplete and (C)is introducing something new 'seuce' which does not matches with what is being said in the previous part of clause.  Hence it is wrong.
