Which phenomenon explains why the same letter or letter combination can represent different sounds in different words (e.g., "ough" in "through," "though," "tough," "thought")?

Alternativa A:
The rule that all vowels in stressed syllables are pronounced long, and in unstressed syllables are pronounced short.
Alternativa B:
The complex history of the English language, with influences from several other languages and phonetic changes over time that were not accompanied by consistent spelling reforms.
Alternativa C:
English has a predominantly phonetic orthography, where each letter corresponds to a single sound.
Alternativa D:
The existence of homophones, that is, words that have the same pronunciation but different spellings and meanings (e.g., "to," "too," "two").
