The correct answer is:
C. tour
Explanation:
The phonetic symbol /ʊə/ represents a diphthong sound found in words like "tour", "pure", or "cure". Among the options:
A. pour – /pɔː/
B. count – /kaʊnt/
C. tour – /tʊə/ or /tʊr/ (depending on accent, but commonly /ʊə/)
D. dear – /dɪə/
Only "tour" contains the /ʊə/ sound.
So, the correct answer is C. tour.
