What is the term for words that sound the same but have different meanings and/or spellings? antonym homonym opposites synonym

The term is:

B. homonym

Explanation:

A homonym is a word that is pronounced and spelled the same way as another word. However, the meanings are different. You can see that this definition is a bit different from the one given in the question. It's because that one actually refers to a homophone, which has the same sound but different spellings. But, since we do not have the option "homophone" to choose, the best one is "homonym". In any case, homonyms are also homophones, but homophones are not necessarily homonyms.

Take a look at the examples below.

Homonyms: pen (to write) - pen (to place animals in); tire (of a car) - tire (verb)

Homophones: here - hear; hair - hare; break - brake
