A. The spelling of the two words might be similar and some sounds might be the same.

Although it is possible for words in two different languages to have the same spelling and/or pronunciation, it is much more likely that they would be similar. Since, the languages are derived from the same root and belong to the same family, it would make sense that the words would be similar, if not exactly the same.
