C不正确，talk不能单独使用，应该在后面跟上一个介词。如： talk about， talk with， talk to ……

Whenever you fall down stand up and keep going. Trust yourself you can do it!

牛津词典里还收录有talk + French/Spanish/Italian etc，但朗文，麦克米伦，剑桥词典都没有收录此用法。根据语料库的统计结果，与speak + 某语言 的结构相比较，speak + 语言 的使用频率是talk + 语言 的40 到80倍。所以Michael Swan 说：
Speak is the usual word to refer to knowledge and use of languages, and to the physical ability to speak.
She speaks three languages fluently.
We spoke French so that the children wouldn't understand.
His throat operation has left him unable to speak.

Collins Cobuild English Usage 则干脆说不要说 talk a foreign language 。

这是美国语料库的统计结果，speak Chinese : talk Chinese  81 : 1

talk是不及物动词，不能接宾语
