The correct answer is Option (3) → Wonder – Wander

• Wonder means to think about something with surprise or curiosity.
• Wander means to walk about slowly without a fixed plan.
• The two words are pronounced differently (wun-der, won-der), so they are not homonyms.

Option 2: Brake – Break

• Brake means the part of a vehicle that slows it down or stops it.
• Break means to make something fall into pieces.

Option 4: Grown – Groan

• Grown means the past participle (V3) of “grow”.
• Groan means a long, low sound made in pain or unhappiness.
