The selected answer is wrong:
The explanation given to the question is indeed correct but the Answer DOES NOT MATCH THE EXPLANATION. The answer is D... (N.B. We are matching the consonant sounds and not the rhyme)

The selected answer is wrong:
h is silent in heir,hour and honest but the correct answer is house because the h is pronounced just as in hair.

The underlined letter was the consonant /h/ which led me to believe the answer was the word with the voiced /h/ sound

The correct answer is D, house
You considered vowel sound instead of consonant sound. The question says 'Choose the option that contains the same consonant sound as represented by the letter underlined'. The first 3 options have their 'h' silent while the last word, house has it's h to be voiced. That said, option D is the right answer
