D.)Up yonder

"Up yonder" is the best fit for the question. It uses the same dialect as "gumption". Dialect is a way of speaking that is specific to a particular region or culture. Other phrases that show this dialect are "them white folks" and "thought of 'em". "In the office" and "Just what they thought" are common phrases that are not specific to any region or culture. "Anyhow" isn't as widely used as the other two phrases, but it is also not considered specific to any particular group.
