  A/N (Author's Note): For context purposes, legitimate Spanish words, and (directly stated) translations will be in italics, which will make them look the same as this note. Happy reading (and have a fantastic day)!

  The keyword in this problem is eres. In Spanish, eres is another version of the word ser, which means to be. The form of ser depends on the context in which it is being used, as well as the corresponding subject (as in noun) intended. Ser is an irregular verb, which means its forms are quite different compared to most Spanish verbs.

  The forms for the verb ser are as listed below:

‣ soy when using yo

‣ eres when using tú

‣ es when using usted (Ud.), él, and/or ella

‣ somos when using nosotros and/or nosotras

‣ sois when using vosotros and/or vosotras

‣ son when using ustedes (Usd.), ellos, and/or ellas

  With this in mind, we can now find the form of ser being used, as well as the context it is mentioned in. As stated earlier, the keyword for this question is eres, which is a form of ser. Thanks to the list, we can clearly see that eres is used when the word tú, or words relating to tú, is/are present. In this case, only one answer choice makes sense in the sentence: Tú.

  In order to expand your thought process, you can check the meaning of the sentence with the word Tú incorporated in it. Tú is the Spanish word for you. If Tú is being used, the word eres must agree with the word Tú (which it does). Out of the four answer choices, Tú is the only word that uses the same context as eres. They both agree with each other, and both use the 'you' context, which cause the sentence to translate to You are Roberto. This answer does indeed make sense, and each of the words are in mutual harmony/peace. Therefore, D. Tu is correct.

  In other words, the answer to this question is D. Tu (because eres is intended to be used/paired with the word Tú).
