The correct answer is:

A. jest

Explanation:

The phonetic symbol /j/ represents the sound of the "y" in words like yes /jɛs/ or yellow /ˈjɛloʊ/. However, in some cases, it also represents the soft "g" or "j" sound, as in jest /dʒɛst/.

jest → /dʒɛst/ (contains the /j/ sound)

flew → /fluː/ (no /j/ sound)

haste → /heɪst/ (no /j/ sound)

value → /ˈvæljuː/ (contains /j/ but as part of "yu" /juː/)


If the question intends /j/ as in yes, "value" would also be a valid option. But if it's referring to the "j" sound as in jest, then A. jest is the best choice.
