Correct Answer: C

Rationale: An open syllable features a long vowel sound that is not followed by a consonant, allowing the vowel to be pronounced as its name. Option A describes a closed syllable, which ends in a consonant and typically has a short vowel sound. Option B refers to a vowel-consonant-silent e pattern, which indicates a specific syllable type but is not open. Option D involves a short vowel followed by 'r', which alters the vowel sound and also does not represent an open syllable. Thus, C accurately defines an open syllable.
