Answer:

homophones

Explanation:

Homophones refer to two or more words that have the same pronunciation, even though they have different meanings or spelling, such as there and their, and no and know.

On the other hand, homographs are words with the same spelling, although they may possess distinct pronunciation and mean different things. Examples of homographs are:

  • can (the modal verb) and can (the container)
  • watch (the element on your wrist that tells the time) and watch (the verb)
