A multiple-choice question

"A lingua franca is any auxiliary language, --- a rudimentary kind, used as a medium of communication between people who speak diferent languages.
A, of which usually
B, which usually of
C, is usually of
D, usually of. "

I really don't know which one is correct. Someone says it should be D. I don't know.

Could you please help me analyze the structure too when you're giving me the correct answer?

Thank you!!

A. is out. 'of', a preposition, requires a head word before it, and there isn't one in our example. B. is also out. 'of' and 'a' are not compatible side-by-side. C. is also out. 'is', a verb, requires a subject, and there isn't one in our example. Note that the blank we have to fill in is separated from the text by commas:

. . . , __________a rudimentary kind, . . . .
