The correct answer is: C. The person loves chocolate. Explanation: In British English, the phrase "doesn't half" is often used informally to mean "really" or "very much." It emphasizes the statement, so the sentence: "My brother doesn't half love chocolate" actually means "My brother really loves chocolate." This usage might be confusing because of the negative-sounding structure, but it’s positive in meaning when used this way.
