--explanation--

Esteban says ¿Cómo te llamas?. This is one of the most common ways to ask for someone's name in Spanish. Another very common question with the same meaning is:

¿Cuál es tu nombre?

Both questions are used in everyday Spanish to ask for a person's name. They are simply structured differently:

  • ¿Cómo te llamas? uses the verb llamarse (to be called).
  • ¿Cuál es tu nombre? asks directly for the name as a noun.

In this task, the correct answer is the option that asks for someone's name.
