The question is focused on understanding the concept of language having multiple interpretations. 'Ambiguity' (A) is the correct answer as it refers to a situation where a word, phrase, or sentence can be understood in more than one way. 'Confusion' (B) is a general state of being unclear, not specific to language. 'Distortion' (C) refers to altering or twisting something, which is not the same as having multiple meanings. 'Miscommunication' (D) is the result of a failure to convey or understand a message, not the cause of multiple meanings.
