The correct answer is:

A. northern

Why?
The phonetic symbol /ð/ represents the voiced "th" sound, like in:

"this"

"that"

"mother"

"feather"

It’s the "soft, vibrating" th sound — if you put your hand on your throat and say "this," you'll feel it vibrate.

Now, let’s check the options:

A. northern – Has /ð/ in the middle: nor[ð]ern

B. bath – Has the unvoiced /θ/ sound (like in "think")

C. healthy – Also has the /θ/ sound

D. teeth – Ends in the /θ/ sound

Never forget tip:
/ð/ = the “th” in "the"
/θ/ = the “th” in "think"

Only "northern" has that soft, voiced /ð/ sound in the middle.

Final Answer: A. northern
