Answer: C
As a greeting on New Year’s Day, Chinese people usually say, “‘新年好！(Xīnnián hǎo!),’ or ‘新年快乐！(Xīnnián kuàilè!)’ Happy New Year.”
Zhānɡ Wěi: Xīnnián hǎo, Lǐ Hóng.
张 伟: 新年 好， 李 红。
Zhang Wei: Happy New Year, Li Hong.
Lǐ Hóng: Xīnnián hǎo, Zhāng Wěi.
李 红： 新年 好， 张 伟。
Li Hong: Happy New Year, Zhang Wei.
Wáng Huá: Zhāng Lì, zhù nǐ xīnnián kuàilè!
王 华： 张 丽，祝 你 新年 快乐！
Wang Hua: Happy New Year to you, Zhang Li!
Zhāng Lì: Xièxie! Xīnnián kuàilè!
张 丽：谢谢！ 新年 快乐！
Zhang Li: Thank you! Happy New Year!
In the test, “新年好！(Xīnnián hǎo!)” and “新年快乐！(Xīnnián kuàilè!)” are commonly used as New Year’s greetings. We don’t say “新年开心！(Xīnnián kāixīn!).” So the answer is C.
