Question

homophones are words that have exactly the same meaning have completely opposite meanings sound the same but have different meanings are spelled the same but are pronounced differently

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definition of homophones. Homophones are words that have the same pronunciation (sound) but different meanings (and often different spellings). Let's analyze each option:

• "have exactly the same meaning" describes synonyms.
• "have completely opposite meanings" describes antonyms.
• "sound the same but have different meanings" matches the definition of homophones.
• "are spelled the same but are pronounced differently" describes heteronyms (or homographs with different pronunciations).

Answer:

C. sound the same but have different meanings
