I think its C. Is it Right?
No. See my other answer to your duplicate post.
The answer is A. Chinese Characters alone give no clue to the pronunciation.
No, option C is not correct. The correct answer is A) The written characters of the Chinese language are nonphonetic and give no clues to pronunciation.
To arrive at this answer, one must understand some key characteristics of the written form of the Chinese language:
1. Nonphonetic characters: Chinese characters represent ideas, concepts, or objects, rather than sounds or phonetic elements. Unlike alphabetic languages, such as English, where individual letters combine to form words, Chinese characters represent whole syllables or concepts.
2. Lack of pronunciation clues: While Chinese characters carry meaning, they do not provide direct information about how to pronounce the words they represent. This is due to the vast number of homophones in Chinese, where different characters can have the same pronunciation but different meanings. Context is often relied upon to determine the intended pronunciation of a character.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is A) The written characters are nonphonetic and give no clues to pronunciation.
