    The correct answer is option B.

    Explanation:

    Cognates are those words that come from the same root, this means that they come from the same origin.

    That is why, sometimes we can see words that start in the same way but then, each word is formed in their respective language.

    Its spelling is very similar, and its meaning too.

    Some examples are the following:

    English: Spanish: Portuguese:

    Accident Accidente Acidente

    Alarm Alarma Alarme

    Identity Identidad Identidade
