The Spanish word for a female "friend" is "la amiga".
The Spanish word for a female "friend" is "la amiga." To determine the correct answer, you need to understand that in Spanish, articles (like "el" and "la") indicate the gender of nouns. In this case, "amiga" is a feminine noun, so it is paired with the feminine article "la." "El amigo" is the Spanish word for a male friend. "Ella" means "she" and is not specifically related to the word "friend," so it is not the correct answer.
